Live Law  

The Enforcement Directorate has opposed Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Nawab Malik's habeas corpus petition on the grounds of maintainability and asserted that his arrest was 'legal.' In a reply affidavit before the Bombay High Court, ED defended allegations by Malik of being forcibly picked up and served summons in the ED's office The ED claimed that Malik was arrested at 2.45pm on February 23, before which his he was served summons and his statement was recorded after he "voluntarily" visited the ED office accompanied by his son. The State Minority Development Minister alleged "illegal arrest," for being a "vocal critique of the misuse of Central agencies since actor Rhea Chakraborty's arrest" He further claimed that he is not the first to be targeted and this is a worrying trend across the nation where central agencies are being misused by the party in power." Money laundering a continuing offence, no retrospective application Regarding the Malik's allegations that PMLA is being applied retrospectively for transactions between 1999- 2005, before the Act even came to force, and thus, violates his fundamental rights, the ED said "the offence of money laundering is a continuing offence as even provided in the statute.
