At the discharge stage under PMLA, the court must only see whether prosecution material, taken at face value, discloses the ingredients of money-laundering; it cannot conduct a mini-trial or weigh defence documents. Revisional interference with refusal of discharge is confined to patent illegality, jurisdictional error, or a legal bar to the proceedings.
