https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=328600 Section 45(1) of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act is examined as requiring a narrowed application of its twin bail conditions. Offences moved from Part B to Part A of the Schedule through the 2013 amendment were included to remove the monetary threshold for invoking the Act, not necessarily to extend stringent bail restrictions to less grave, compoundable, or bailable offences; applying those conditions indiscriminately would raise Articles 14 and 21 concerns. Private requests for investigation under the Customs Act remain subject to the Code of Criminal Procedure and statutory limits on cognizance, including required sanction. Money-laundering investigation cannot be triggered through a private complaint without lawful initiation of the underlying scheduled offence or an authorised complaint. en-us Wed, 11 May 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:29:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=328600 Section 45(1) of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act is examined as requiring a narrowed application of its twin bail conditions.
