https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457457 Section 19 of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act requires the authorised officer to have material in possession and record written reasons to believe before arrest. Where the arrest order does not disclose that basis and relies mainly on predicate-case material or alleged non-cooperation, the arrest is treated as non-compliant with the mandatory safeguard. That defect benefits the arrested person and affects the bail analysis: the Section 45 twin conditions cannot be used to deny relief when the arrest itself is vitiated for failure to comply with Section 19. The document therefore explains that recorded reasons to believe are a mandatory precondition to lawful arrest under the money-laundering regime. en-us Mon, 08 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:17:19 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457457 Section 19 of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act requires the authorised officer to have material in possession and record written reasons to believe before arrest.
