The HC dismissed the applicant's bail plea under the rigours of Section 45 of the PMLA and Section 483 of the BNS, 2023, holding custodial detention necessary. The applicant, a senior public official, is charged with laundering proceeds exceeding Rs.100 crores arising from a large-scale illicit liquor syndicate; prima facie material attributes active orchestration rather than passive involvement. The court found statutory twin conditions unmet and applied the triple-test for economic offences, emphasizing preservation of evidence, tracing residual proceeds, preventing witness interference, and protecting public interest and constitutional morality. Differential treatment of co-accused was deemed inapposite on facts. Bail application rejected.
