Under the PMLA, initiation of proceedings depends on the Authorized Officer's written reasons to believe, formed on material in possession, and a predicate offence alone does not compel ECIR registration or enforcement action. Internal departmental circulars cannot override or add to the statutory conditions, and mandamus will not lie to direct a discretionary, quasi-judicial decision reserved to the Enforcement Directorate.
