Judgment

Mr.M.K. Kulkarni for the petitioner (in all petitions). Mr.A.M. Kotangale for the respondents. CORAM : H.L. GOKHALE, & J.P. DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2006. P.C. :W

1.

While investigating the affairs of the respondent No.5 - Co-operative Society, the Fixed Deposit receipts of the petitioners have been attached since the revenue is contending that they are benamidars for the respondent No.6. Now notices have been issued to the petitioners and they are also to be heard by the concerned officers.

2.

This being the position, Mr.Kulkarni appearing for the petitioners makes only a limited request that the investigation may be completed at the earliest. We direct the officers concerned to finalise it at the earliest. Needless to state that in the event the petitioners are held not to be the benamidars, the amounts attached under section 281B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 will be released.
