    <title>Section 9: Crypto held on WazirX deemed within jurisdiction; interim protection granted for applicant&#039;s frozen XRP holdings</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93682</link>
    <description>The HC held that the Section 9 petition under the A&amp;C Act is maintainable as the applicant&#039;s crypto assets, held via the WazirX platform and accessible from her ordinary residence in India, were prima facie situated within the Court&#039;s jurisdiction and rendered inaccessible by freezing of the platform. The Court found that the platform was operated by entities connected to the respondent and that the applicant&#039;s holdings (3,532.20 XRP) were distinct from ERC-20 tokens affected by the cyber-attack. The HC granted interim relief under Section 9, recognizing the applicant&#039;s entitlement to protection pending arbitration and/or adjudication of whether the foreign scheme of arrangement binds her, and disposed of the application.</description>
