8. Therefore, by way of the instant Application, the Applicant seeks leave of this

Hon’ble Court to place on record the following additional documents, which

the possession of the properties of all the Appellants in Appeal Nos.

66/AHD/2010 – 71/AHD/2010, namely, Mr. Dushyant Natwarlal Dalal, Mrs.

10. In light of the above, the delay, if any, in filing these additional documents is not

deliberate and has been occasioned due to reasons beyond the Appellant’s

condoned by this Hon’ble Tribunal.

11. Furthermore, it is submitted that the aforesaid additional documents are essential

and necessary for adjudication of the instant Appeal and this Hon’ble Tribunal

would not be in a position to decide the instant Appeal appropriately without the

Annexures, which is attached hereto, is a true copy of their respective original

document.

13. It is respectfully submitted that the present application is being filed bona fide

and in the interest of justice as the Applicant has a very good case on merits and

the balance of convenience lies in its favour. It is submitted that if the relief

prayed for herein is not granted then the Applicant would suffer grave prejudice

in as much as the aforesaid additional documents demonstrate beyond doubt that

the properties of the Appellant have been erroneously attached by the

Respondent in as much as they were not derived or obtained with proceeds of

crime. Therefore, it is submitted that this Hon’ble Tribunal cannot effectively

adjudicate the present Appeal without the benefit of the aforesaid additional

documents and it is prayed that the same may be taken on record. However, it is

submitted that no prejudice will be caused to the Respondent in the event that

the reliefs prayed for herein are granted.

PRAYER

Whereof in the light of the submissions made hereinabove, it is most respectfully

prayed that this Hon’ble court may be pleased to:
