The HC dismissed a petition challenging a non-bailable warrant issued against a Dubai resident involved in the Mahadev Online Book operation. The Court rejected preliminary objections regarding petition maintainability through a power of attorney holder. The Court upheld the Special Court's jurisdiction to issue the warrant under Section 70 of CrPC after the petitioner failed to respond to summons issued under Section 50 of PMLA. Evidence indicated the petitioner was a main promoter of the illegal operation and had obtained citizenship in Vanuatu, which lacks an extradition treaty with India, demonstrating intent to evade investigation. The Court affirmed that PMLA provisions apply to any person involved with proceeds of crime, not just those named in scheduled offenses.
