On Its Money Laundering Law Verdict, Supreme Court To Review 2 Key Points

The Supreme Court today issued notice to the Centre on a plea filed by Congress leader Karti Chidambaram seeking a review of the July 2022 Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) ruling by a bench led by Justice Khanwilkar. The top court agreed to reconsider the PMLA judgment dated July 27 on two aspects -- that the Enforcement Directorate doesn't need to provide the case information copy (ECIR) to the accused, and the accused has to prove innocence while the probe agency need not prove guilt.
