<h1>Special Leave Petition dismissed; issuance of five Form 15CBs alone not enough to implicate a chartered accountant in money-laundering conspiracy</h1> <h3>K. Murali Krishna Versus The Deputy Director, Directorate of Enforcement</h3> SC dismissed the Special Leave Petition and upheld the HC order, refusing to interfere. Noting a coordinate bench had reached a similar conclusion, the ... Money Laundering - Onus on Chartered Accountant (CA) for giving certificate - scheduled offences - whether mere issuance of five numbers of Form 15CB at the request of client, would by itself, brings the CA into the net of conspiracy to indulge in money laundering? - HELD THAT:- Keeping in view the fact that a Coordinate Bench has already dismissed the SLP somewhat in similar circumstances in THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR VERSUS MURALI KRISHNA CHAKRALA [2024 (3) TMI 1497 - SC ORDER], there are no reason to interfere with the impugned order of the High Court. The Special Leave Petition is accordingly dismissed. 'Delay condoned.' The Special Leave Petition was dismissed; the Court declined to interfere with the impugned High Court order, noting that a Coordinate Bench had earlier dismissed SLP (Criminal) Diary No. 8123/2024 on 18.03.2024 'in similar circumstances.' The Court applied the principle of consistency with that earlier dismissal as the basis for non-interference. A specific clarification was issued that the High Court's observations in paragraph 10 of the impugned order are 'only in the context of deciding the Criminal Revision Case' and 'shall have no bearing on merits of the case.' All pending applications stand disposed of. The ruling limits the effect of the High Court's remarks to the revision proceedings and preserves the substantive merits for determination elsewhere.
