Is it necessary that a seizing/freezing order under Section 68 F should be issued only after all the illegally acquired properties have been traced and identified?
No, the Act does not fix any number of seizing/freezing orders, which can be issued. More than one seizing/freezing order can be issued if further properties are identified. For example the enforcement officer may have identified as one house, one vehicle and some bank accounts of an accused as illegally acquired properties and might have issued a seizing/freezing order. Subsequently it is found that the person owns one more house and has three more vehicles, which also are illegally acquired. There is no bar under the Act for issue of another seizing/freezing order for these newly found illegally acquired properties. Any number of seizing/freezing orders under section 68 F of the Act can be issued, at any time for implementation of prohibition under Section 68 C of the Act.
