Consequently the tribunal found the statutory ingredients satisfied and dismissed the appeals. en-us Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:08:26 +0530 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:08:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96947 Benami transaction challenge to a Provisional Attachment Order: the definition of a benami transaction under Section 2(9)(A) of the 1988 Act applies where property remained in the name of benamidars on and after the 2016 amendment, so the amendment's prospective character does not defeat attachment.
