O R D E R

Leave granted.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the opinion that

in view of the fact that the properties which were sought to be attached and

purportedly belonged to the accused, having not been specified, the impugned

judgment cannot be sustained. It is set aside accordingly. However, for procuring the

attendance of Accused No.1 – Pintu Rai, the Investigating Officer may file fresh

application in terms of Sections 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which

may be considered on its own merit.

In the event an order of attachment is passed and pursuant thereto some

properties are attached in which the petitioner herein may have a share, she may file

appropriate claim application before the said Court.

The appeal is allowed accordingly.

(S.B. SINHA)
