The Central Government, under section 43(1) of the PMLA and in consultation with the Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, has amended the designation of Special Courts for PMLA cases in Andhra Pradesh. The Principal Special Judge Court for CBI cases at Visakhapatnam is now vested with jurisdiction over specified revenue districts in the northern and central regions of the state, handling all PMLA cases arising from CBI investigations or charge sheets. Additionally, the I Additional Special Judge Court for CBI cases at Visakhapatnam is assigned jurisdiction over specified revenue districts in the southern region of Andhra Pradesh. This amendment expands and delineates the territorial jurisdiction of designated Special Courts to facilitate the adjudication of PMLA offenses linked to CBI investigations across the entire state.
