<h1>SC Rules Summons Shouldn't Be Quashed Due to Respondent's Discharge in Predicate Offence; HC Order Set Aside.</h1> <h3>DIRECTOR, ENFORCEMENT DIRECTORATE & ANR. Versus VILELIE KHAMO</h3> DIRECTOR, ENFORCEMENT DIRECTORATE & ANR. Versus VILELIE KHAMO - TMI In the Supreme Court case presided over by HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M. M. SUNDRESH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARAVIND KUMAR, the primary legal issue was whether the High Court was justified in quashing the summons on the grounds that the respondent had been discharged in the predicate offence. The Court clarified that the issuance of a summons does not warrant quashing simply because the respondent was discharged in the predicate offence. The determination of whether the respondent should be arrayed as an accused is to be decided later, allowing the respondent to raise relevant contentions, including the argument that the quashing of the predicate offence should affect subsequent proceedings under the PMLA.The Supreme Court set aside the impugned order, allowing the appellant to proceed with the summons. However, it was made clear that the respondent may not be arrested, provided he continues to cooperate with the investigation. The appeal was allowed, and any pending applications were disposed of.
