The seizure order remained in force because the relevant person (TSMY) was charged within the statutory period in his capacity as President/office-bearer of the society, and under the Societies Act and s.87 AMLA the charging of an office-bearer suffices for s.52A; a society cannot be charged in its own name for AMLA offences, and the interpleader was not an appropriate forum to determine the substantive disputes, therefore the bank must continue to hold the funds pending determination of the judicial review applications.
