<h1>Arrest of former civic chief under Section 19 PMLA quashed for lack of tangible material, remand orders set aside</h1> The Bombay High Court held illegal the arrest of a former civic chief by an enforcement agency in a money-laundering probe, finding the arresting officer lacked the 'tangible material' required under section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and that the case rested primarily on statements by certain architects and developers. The court quashed the special court's remand orders and directed the accused's release; the enforcement agency's application for a stay was refused. The accused is alleged to have connived with builders resulting in 41 illegal buildings, prompting a corruption complaint and a subsequent money-laundering investigation.
