Mr. Rathi Swapnil S., Advocate for the Petitioner Mr. G. A. Kulkarni, APP for Respondent-State …. CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE & VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV, JJ. Date : 08/10/2026 PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. Though the petition has been filed seeking quashing of the Gazette Notification dated 16.06.2017, whereby the property of the petitioner was attached in connection with the crime registered under the MPID Act, but the learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions, fairly submitted that the concerned Designated Court has taken cognizance of the matter and that the confirmation of the said Gazette Notification has not yet been made by the Designated Court. 3. On perusal of the provisions of the MPID Act, particularly sub- section (3) of Section 7 thereof, it appears that any person claiming an interest in the property attached, or any portion thereof, may VS Maind/ Page|1 2026:BHC-AUG:47627-DB 919 cri. wp 1147-21 . raise an objection before the Designated Court before an order is passed under sub-section (4) or sub-section (6) of Section 7. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner, therefore, submitted that liberty may be granted to the petitioner to approach the concerned Designated Court and raise an appropriate objection, particularly when the order confirming the Gazette Notification has not yet been passed. 5. In view of the above, the petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise an appropriate objection before the concerned Designated Court, in accordance with law.
