https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=763947 Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act imposes twin bail conditions: after hearing the Public Prosecutor, the court must have reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty and unlikely to offend while on bail. The Code of Criminal Procedure applies only where consistent with the Act, which has overriding effect. Prolonged pre-trial custody, a filed money-laundering complaint, the absence of a charge sheet in the predicate offence, and an unlikely early trial may dilute the statutory conditions. Bail assessment proceeds on broad probabilities, while Article 21 liberty concerns may support release subject to safeguards against absconding or evidence tampering. en-us Mon, 02 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 18:24:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=763947 Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act imposes twin bail conditions: after hearing the Public Prosecutor, the court must have reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty and unlikely to offend while on bail.
