1 min read
New Delhi (Team Newsbuddy). The Supreme Court has dismissed the money laundering case going on against the former IAS and his son in the alleged liquor scam case in Chhattisgarh. During the hearing, the Supreme Court had told the ED that this is not an exponential crime. If there is no income from the crime, then the case of money laundering does not arise.
A bench of judges Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuiyan said, “Before taking cognizance, the special court will have to apply its mind on the question whether prima facie an offence is made out under section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. If it believes that no prima facie offence is made out under section 3 of the PMLA, then it can exercise powers under section 203 of the CrPC. It can dismiss the complaint. If a prima facie case is made out, it can resort to section 204 under the CrPC.
The original copy of the order given by the Supreme Court in this case is yet to come. It is worth noting that Anwar Dhebar is one of the six people who had filed petitions in this case. At present, Anwar is on the remand of ACB-EOW from the court.
