    <title>Property Attachment Upheld: Inherited Assets Can Be Seized as Equivalent Value of Proceeds of Crime Under PMLA</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=88969</link>
    <description>AT upheld property attachment under Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, finding that inherited or acquired property predating the scheduled offence can be attached as equivalent value of proceeds of crime. Despite a delay of over ten years since the initial FIR, the tribunal rejected appellant&#039;s challenge, relying on SC&#039;s interpretation in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case. The attachment was validated under the second limb of &quot;proceeds of crime&quot; definition, even when original criminal proceeds were unavailable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming ED&#039;s authority to attach property of equivalent value linked to alleged money laundering activities.</description>
