Special Courts designation enables Sessions Courts to try money laundering offences and related offences joined in the same trial. The Central Government, after consulting the Chief Justice of the relevant High Court, may notify one or more Sessions Courts as Special Courts to try offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002; such Special Courts may also try, in the same trial, any other offences with which the accused may be charged under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
