<h1>Supreme Court stresses adherence to Section 45 of PMLA for bail in money laundering cases, overturns Patna High Court decision.</h1> The Supreme Court of India emphasized the necessity of adhering to the twin conditions under Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) when granting bail in money laundering cases. The conditions require that the prosecutor be allowed to oppose bail and the court must have reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty and will not commit further offenses. The court criticized the Patna High Court for granting bail without considering these conditions and set aside its order, remanding the case for reconsideration. The Supreme Court highlighted the seriousness of money laundering and the stringent provisions of the PMLA to combat it.
