Final attachment order dated 27.11.2024 passed by Adjudicating authority, New Delhi in ECIR No. ECIR/13/LKZO/2019 (Annexure No.2 of the amendment application)." 4. At the very outset, the Court raised a pointed query as to whether against the order impugned in present writ petition, an appeal shall lie before the competent authority or not. 5. Mr. G.S. Chaturvedi, the learned Senior Counsel fairly submits that against the impugned order an appeal shall lie before the competent authority under Section 26 of the PML Act and thereafter to the High Court under Section 42 of the said Act. He, however submits that an appeal against the final order impugned in writ petition has already been filed by the petitioner before the competent authority. 6. In view of above, the present writ petition is therefore, not maintainable. 7. It is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn.
