U.SUBHADRAMMA vs STATE OF A.P REP.BY PUB.PROSECUTOR

The Supreme Court upheld the application of the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 1944, allowing the attachment of property belonging to the deceased Ramachandraiah, who was accused of misappropriation under Sections 409, 468, and 471 IPC. The Court found that the trial court had established Ramachandraiah's responsibility for the offences, despite his death, and that the appellants failed to prove the properties were self-acquired. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' petition under Section 482 CrPC, thereby maintaining the order of attachment.
