SC to hear review pleas against 2022 verdict upholding ED’s powers in money laundering cases
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear review petitions challenging a 2022 verdict that upheld the Enforcement Directorate's powers in money laundering cases. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V Mohana, will first consider the maintainability of the petitions and later address the 13 questions proposed by the petitioners.
The Centre argued that the hearing should focus solely on the two issues initially raised by the court in August 2022. The 2022 judgement had upheld the ED's authority to arrest, attach properties involved in money laundering, and conduct search and seizure under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
