https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=104920 Section 44(1)(c) of the PMLA establishes a committal process for moving a scheduled-offence proceeding to the Special Court dealing with the associated money-laundering complaint when cognizance has been taken by different courts. An authorised PMLA authority cannot exercise its discretion in a manner that defeats this statutory scheme, while the court trying the scheduled offence retains responsibility for deciding the committal application. Under Article 226, a direction to initiate the committal process concerns an authority subject to writ jurisdiction rather than a judicial transfer of criminal proceedings. A sufficient territorial nexus may support such a direction even where the scheduled-offence proceeding is pending outside the State. en-us Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:17:13 +0530 Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:17:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=104920 Section 44(1)(c) of the PMLA establishes a committal process for moving a scheduled-offence proceeding to the Special Court dealing with the associated money-laundering complaint when cognizance has been taken by different courts.
