Application for exemption from filing official translation in PMLA-related proceedings allowed; other arrest and ECIR issues considered

Supreme Court consideration concerns challenges under the Prevention of MoneyLaundering framework: whether an arrest is vitiated by illegality, whether a later ECIR may be predicated on material from an earlier quashed ECIR, and whether custodial remand or production warrants are validly obtained; the text records that an application for exemption from filing an official translation was allowed. The discussion focuses on procedural and evidentiary consequences for investigations and remand practice, while the only explicit operative outcome stated is allowance of the translation exemption.
