The Court held that the discretionary power under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was not excluded, and that continued custody had to be judged in light of the documentary nature of the evidence, the unexplained delay in filing the PMLA complaint, the applicant's long cooperation with investigators, and the reduced risk of reoffending after suspension and dismissal from service. Bail was granted and continued incarceration was held unwarranted. en-us Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 09:10:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194786 Section 45 of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002 was read as requiring a reasonable pre-trial assessment at the bail stage, not a conclusive finding of guilt or innocence.
