Money Laundering/Conspiracy - proceeds of crime - The words “prima facie case” as such have not been defined under any provision of the Code. At different stages of a criminal case, the level of satisfaction is different. At the stage of summoning “prima facie case” is to be seen. At the stage of the framing of charge, the level of satisfaction is higher than it and, finally, at the stage of judgment, the level of satisfaction is “proved beyond reasonable doubt”. For “Prima facie case”, it has to be shown that some offence has been committed and there is material regarding grave involvement of the person to be summoned. - HC
