Designation of Special Courts for trial of benami property offences across specified territorial jurisdictions under the Act. Central Government, under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988 and in consultation with the Chief Justices, designates specified Courts of Session and Special Judges as Special Courts for trying offences under the Act. A table lists the designated courts alongside the territorial areas-States, Union Territories, sessions divisions and districts-within which each court will exercise jurisdiction over benami offence trials. Certain entries are noted as substituted by later notifications.
