Quashing of an FIR against one accused does not automatically invalidate parallel PMLA investigation, ECIR recording or provisional attachment where predicate offences remain disclosed and proceedings against other persons continue; the continuation of proceedings and attachment was therefore sustained. Transfers routed through a web of companies were held to be paper/shell transactions in the absence of loan documentation, balance sheet entries or supporting books, and contemporaneous material traced the money trail to disputed properties.
