https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=443040 Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act did not restrict the High Court's power to consider anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC on its own merits, as the Court read Sections 44 and 45 harmoniously and held that the stringent restrictions were not meant to apply to Constitutional Courts. Dismissal of earlier Section 482 CrPC quashing petitions did not decide the bail question, because quashing and bail are distinct jurisdictions requiring independent consideration. On the facts, the Court relied on delay in lodging complaints, completion of investigation, cooperation by the applicants, absence of recovery or attachment, and continued compliance with interim protection to confirm anticipatory bail. en-us Tue, 12 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 15 Sep 2023 08:53:17 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=443040 Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act did not restrict the High Court's power to consider anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC on its own merits, as the Court read Sections 44 and 45 harmoniously and held that the stringent restrictions were not meant to apply to Constitutional Courts.
