The petitioner was granted bail by the High Court in a money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court held that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) must establish foundational facts, after which the burden shifts to the accused to rebut the presumption u/s 24 of the PMLA.
