<h1>Supreme Court to Hear Maintainability of Review Petitions on PMLA Provisions and Enforcement Powers</h1> The Supreme Court is considering multiple petitions challenging its 2022 judgment upholding key provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), including Enforcement Directorate's powers to arrest, search, and attach property. Review petitions and fresh writ petitions seek to revisit the verdict and request referral to a larger bench. A three-judge bench led by a senior justice is set to hear preliminary objections on maintainability of review petitions on August 6-7. Senior counsel requested that review and related writ petitions be heard together, while the Solicitor General opposed this, arguing that maintainability issues should be addressed first. The Chief Justice indicated he would consult the relevant judge on coordinating the hearings. The court is focusing initially on whether the review petitions are maintainable before considering substantive questions, with the government limiting review scope to two specific issues related to procedure and burden of proof under the PMLA.
