The court sustained expansive definition of "proceeds of crime," confirmed Parliament's power to forfeit assets acquired even before enactment, and rejected vagueness challenges to section 8. Presumptions and correlative burdens under sections 23 and 24 were held permissible as rebuttable and within legislative competence, with section 8(4) dispossession deemed reasonable to preserve property pending confiscation. The challenge to section 8 failed. en-us Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 12:17:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=213331 HC upheld constitutionality of the Act's provisions permitting attachment and eventual confiscation of property held by persons not accused under the scheduled offence, finding no violation of Articles 14, 21 or 300A.
