Explanation

Under CrPC Section 82, when issuing a proclamation requiring an absconding accused to appear, the court may simultaneously order attachment of his property. This attachment power can be exercised if the court is satisfied that the person is EITHER about to dispose of the whole or any part of his property OR about to remove it from the court's local jurisdiction. Both conditions need not coexist - either one is sufficient.
