Where undertrial custody had exceeded one-half of the maximum prescribed sentence and there was no realistic prospect of early trial completion, the court held that continued incarceration would defeat the object of Section 436-A. The restrictions in Section 45 of the PMLA did not prevent relief on those facts, although delay attributable solely to the accused could be excluded. Bail was granted because the delay was not shown to be solely attributable to the applicants. en-us Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:10:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=766085 Section 436-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was treated as a beneficial provision protecting the right to speedy trial and personal liberty under Article 21, and it was held applicable to offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
