HC affirmed ED's authority to conduct search, seizure, and account freezing operations under FEMA 1999 and PMLA 2002. Court held that interference during investigation stage is warranted only in exceptional circumstances, as law enforcement requires both coercive and covert techniques. ED demonstrated reasonable belief of proceeds of crime, provided proper documentation during search, and followed procedural requirements.
