<h1>Cooperative societies' petition to quash PMLA proceedings under ED rejected; no interference under section 482 CrPC</h1> The High Court dismissed a petition by several cooperative societies seeking quashing of Enforcement Directorate proceedings under the PMLA, holding there was no ground to interfere under section 482 CrPC. The societies had challenged search-and-seizure actions conducted in July 2024 under an ED authorization, arguing no prima facie case existed because a final report had been filed in relation to an FIR and related matters were before the Supreme Court with repayments ongoing. The court clarified its observations would not affect trial proceedings and formally rejected the petition on October 17.
