The High Court dismissed the application challenging the freezing orders issued by the Enforcement Directorate u/ss 17 and 17(1-A) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The Court held that the phrase "for the purposes of investigation" in the notice u/s 17(1-A) was sufficient justification for the Enforcement Directorate's actions, considering the financial trail linking the petitioner company to an entity under investigation. Section 17(1-A) allows freezing of property when seizure is not possible, while Section 17(2) mandates forwarding reasons and material to the Adjudicating Authority in a sealed envelope, preserving secrecy. The Court distinguished the present case from a previous matter where proceedings were stayed by the Supreme Court.
