Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, Sangeeta Chowdhury, was deprived of her property without being afforded an opportunity to be heard, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the attachment of her property by the Commissioner of Sanchaita Investments was improper as the objections raised by her were not adequately considered due to a procedural defect in the Vakalatnama. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the objections be reconsidered, ensuring that the appellant's rights are protected under Article 21 of the Constitution.
