<h1>Supreme Court Criticizes Enforcement Directorate for Misusing PMLA, Compares to Section 498A IPC Misuse</h1> The Supreme Court criticized the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly misusing the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to keep an accused, a former excise officer from Chhattisgarh, in jail despite the Chhattisgarh High Court quashing the court order taking cognizance of the complaint. The bench compared this misuse to that of the dowry law under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The ED opposed bail, arguing technical grounds should not allow the accused to evade justice. The Supreme Court expressed concern over the ED's actions and questioned the signals such actions send.
