https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=793388 Bail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was granted despite the stringent twin conditions in Section 45 because prolonged pre-trial incarceration weighed heavily with the Court. The allegations concerned serious laundering of proceeds of crime arising from recruitment irregularities, and the Court noted that the statutory hurdle on merits was not easy to cross, with concerns about tampering and the gravity of economic offences. Even so, the petitioner had spent about 2 years and 3 months in custody, had already obtained bail in the predicate cases after long detention, and the Court considered continued incarceration against Article 21. Bail was therefore allowed on the overall factual matrix. en-us Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:09:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=793388 Bail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was granted despite the stringent twin conditions in Section 45 because prolonged pre-trial incarceration weighed heavily with the Court.
