Can't Invoke Anti-Money Laundering Act Unless...: Supreme Court's Big Ruling
NDTV
The bench had said only because there is a conspiracy to commit an offence, the same does not become an aggravated offence.
The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition seeking review of its verdict which held that a person cannot be booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by invoking Section 120B of the IPC if the alleged criminal conspiracy was not related to a scheduled offence under PMLA.
Section 120B of IPC provides for punishment for a criminal conspiracy.
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Pankaj Mithal dismissed the petition seeking review of the November 29, 2023 verdict that also said it is not necessary that a person against whom the offence under Section 3 of the PMLA is alleged, must have been shown as the accused in the scheduled offence.
