AI Assist

Summary

After an order or an official notice under this Chapter, any transfer of the property mentioned is ignored for the Chapter's proceedings. If that property is later forfeited to the Central Government, the transfer is treated as null and void. Transfers made after the order or notice do not protect the transferee.

Example

Priya receives an official notice that her shop is subject to this Chapter. She then transfers the shop to Rohan. For the proceedings under this Chapter the transfer will be ignored; if the shop is later forfeited to the Central Government the transfer will be deemed null and void.
