115. (1) Where a Court in India has reasonable grounds to believe that any property obtained by any person is derived or obtained, directly or indirectly, by such person from the commission of an offence, it may make an order of attachment or forfeiture of such property, as it may deem fit under the provisions of sections 116 to 122 (both inclusive).
(2) Where the Court has made an order for attachment or forfeiture of any property under sub-section (1), and such property is suspected to be in a contracting State, the Court may issue a letter of request to a Court or an authority in the contracting State for execution of such order.
(3) Where a letter of
request is received by the Central Government from a Court or an authority
in a contracting State requesting attachment or forfeiture of the property
in India, derived or obtained, directly or indirectly, by any person from
the commission of an offence committed in that contracting State, the
Central Government may forward such letter of request to the Court, as it
thinks fit, for execution in accordance with the provisions of
sections 116 to 122 (both inclusive) or, as the case may be, any other law
for the time being in force.
