Anti-Money Laundering Law Misused Like Dowry Law: Supreme Court | Read
The PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) is being used repeatedly to keep people in jail, the Supreme Court said today. A bench pulling up the Enforcement Directorate, said the law is being misused like the dowry law.
The provisions of PMLA cannot be used to keep someone in jail forever, said a two-judge bench of the top court today, granting bail to Arun Pati Tripathi, a former excise officer from Chhattisgarh.
Tripathi was accused of money laundering in the Chhattisgarh liquor scam case and was arrested in 2023. But despite receiving bail in the current case, he will not be released as he faces another case filed by the Economic Offences Wing.
