Sir: Our prime minister intends to constitute an ‘inquiry commission to look into ballooning of debt burden during the past ten years. Let it cover inter-related benami, money-laundering or other pseudo-financial transactions also. Under the benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, those found cosseting in benami transactions will their properties confiscated, fined and imprisoned – Fine equivalent to twenty-five percent of the fair market-value of the property, and imprisonment up to seven years. Benami Property is defined as ‘assets of any kind, whether movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, corporeal or incorporeal and includes any right or interest or legal documents or instruments evidencing title to or interest in the property and where the property is capable of conversion into some other form, then the property in the converted form and also includes the proceeds from the property which are the subject matter of a benami transaction or arrangement. No conduit/benamidar shall re-transfer the benami property to the beneficial owner or any other person. Even where a person dies during the course of any proceeding under this Act, any proceeding taken against the deceased before his death shall be deemed to have been taken against the legal representative and may be continued against the legal representative from the stage at which it stood on the date of the death of the deceased. We should learn from Indian economic policies. ASAD MALIK Rawalpindi
