"Not necessary to 'launder' money in conventional sense. Enough to be in possession of proceeds of crime to attract the force of Prevention of Money Laundering Act," Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta tells #SupremeCourtofIndia.

Where jurisdiction of ED has started, there cannot be a stay merely because it is a predicate offence. Only one condition imposed by SC - ED's investigation must stop if accused is acquitted in scheduled offence: Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta

#SupremeCourtofIndia #PMLA #ED
Even where person has been acquitted in predicate offence, not necessary that PMLA case will go away. If a person accused of taking a bribe has been discharged under PC Act, but we find proceeds of crime, what to do? Act provides for this. : SG

"#ED now intervening in predicate offences because they feel left out. There's a phrase used by young people - 'FOMO', or fear of missing out. Applicable to ED, which feels like it's missing out on all the crime," Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra tells #SupremeCourtofIndia.

ED will often say they have jurisdiction because there has been commission of offence. NOT true. ED will get jurisdiction only when commission is accompanied by generation of proceeds of crime on that commission. : Sr Adv Sidharth Luthra

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #PMLA #ED
Only when these two conditions (commission of offence & generation of proceeds of crime) exist together, will the Enforcement Directorate get jurisdiction to act, and not otherwise. : Sr Adv Sidharth Luthra.

"The sine qua non of attracting Prevention of Money Laundering Act (#PMLA) is existence of property. That is what kicks off jurisdiction of Enforcement Directorate (#ED)", Sr Adv C Aryama Sundaram says while arguing in Tamil Nadu cash-for-jobs scam case.

#SupremeCourtofIndia Image
Section 50 of PMLA does not support fishing-and-roving expedition. Enforcement Directorate cannot say, tell us what properties you have. They must have knowledge of existence of property and make enquiries as to how those were procured : Sundaram

#SupremeCourtofIndia #PMLA #ED
First stage & basic jurisdictional fact is existence of identified property. Without that, this act cannot be invoked. There may be a wrongdoer who is punished for a predicate offence, but this act cannot be invoked. : Sundaram

#BREAKING: The Sessions Judge, Lucknow on Wednesday has ordered to release journalist Siddique Kappan on bail.

He was languishing in jail since December 21, 2021 after being charged under UAPA and later in PMLA case.

#siddiquekappan #PMLA #UAPA
Kappan, a reporter for Malayalam news portal Azhimukham, and secretary of the Delhi unit of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ), was arrested along with three others in UP, while on his way to Hathras to report on the gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit girl.
He was then booked under the UAPA and later under the PMLA.

In the UAPA case, he was denied bail by lower courts and the Allahabad High Court, before the top court granted him relief in August 2022.

Have I understood it correctly?
On #PMLA SC has said : declaration by Parliament, ipso facto, satisfies the 'test' of compelling State interest.

Does that leave room for judicial scrutiny of a Law as all of them are passed / declared by the Parliament. Often, w/o debate.
More shocking is pulling up directive principles in support of upholding sections that are inversion of justice and due process.
Mind boggling is citation of State's obligation to prevent concentration of wealth in a few hands to justify draconian powers of arrest & detention.
SC completely missed the fact that ED's powers have actually been used by the State to concentrate wealth in a few hands - case in point - Mumbai Airport came to Adani only after ED booked GVK Group under PMLA.
That GVK owners weren't arrested can be attributed to sale to Adani

Subject to reading the full judgment, here's a quick explainer of the SC's pronouncement:

1. To constitute money laundering, mere possession or use of proceeds of crime w/o projecting it as untainted is an offence.
#PMLA #PMLAExplained
2. The inclusion of a wide list of predicate offences under PMLA, covering variety of crimes, from IPC to Copyright violations, is prerogative of the legislature.

#PMLA #PMLAExplained
3. Investigation into money laundering can begin even in the absence of an FIR/investigation into predicate offence. But if predicate offence proceedings result in discharge or acquittal, then money laundering proceedings must also fall

PMLA Judgment by Sup Ct (bench headed by J Khanwilkar): Expression 'and' in S. 3 has to be interpreted as 'or', thus mere possession of proceeds of crime is money laundering. Argument of petitioner that concealment is necessary is rejected
