    Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed appeals by nine family members of IAS officer Ranu Sahu challenging asset attachment orders under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court upheld the provisional attachment of properties worth Rs. 5.52 crores, ruling that properties acquired even before the alleged coal extortion scam (which commenced July 2020) can be attached as "value equivalent" to proceeds of crime when the actual tainted proceeds are unavailable or untraceable, and that the attachment was justified based on circumstantial financial evidence, diary entries, and investigations linking the accused to money laundering operations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
