Court may order forfeiture of proceeds of terrorism if
1. Property is seized or attached on the ground that it constitutes proceeds of terrorism
2. Court has made confirmation order
3. The possessor of the property is prosecuted under Chapter IV or Chapter VI of UAPA 1967
4. Even if the possessor of the property is not prosecuted under Chapter IV or Chapter VI of UAPA 1967
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The court may order forfeiture when property has been seized or attached as proceeds of terrorism and the court confirms that order. Prosecution of the person from whose possession it was taken is not a necessary condition: the statute expressly applies whether or not that person is prosecuted under the relevant chapters. Notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard must also be provided before forfeiture.
