SC to Hear Maintainability of PMLA Review Petitions First
The Supreme Court is revisiting its decision from 2022 about the government's powers to fight money laundering.
Before discussing the details, the court will first decide if it's even possible to review the case.
The case involves the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which investigates money laundering.
The court will consider whether the ED can arrest people, seize assets, and conduct searches.
The government wants the review focused on specific parts.
In 2022, the court said money laundering is a serious threat to financial systems.
This is a legal process to make sure the previous ruling was fair.
Supreme Court will first address the maintainability of petitions seeking review of the 2022 PMLA verdict.
The review pertains to the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) powers to arrest, attach properties, and conduct searches.
The court will hear arguments on the maintainability before considering the review's proposed questions.
The Centre argued the review should be limited to specific issues flagged by the court earlier.
The 2022 verdict upheld the validity of PMLA provisions, emphasizing money laundering's threat to financial systems.
