'ED Action Without Any Basis' : Madras High Court Stops Money Laundering Probe Against Contractors Over Sand Mining

Live Law  

The Madras High Court recently restrained the Enforcement Directorate from carrying out its investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against private contractors in connection with alleged illegal sand mining. The court added that unless a case in the scheduled offence was registered and such an offence generated proceeds of crime, the ED could not have initiated any action. As stated earlier, the materials collected and the reasons shown in the Provisional Attachment Order, even if accepted to be true only suggests that the respondents have unearthed large scale illegal sand mining and that may have generated illegal money,” the court observed. Relying on the Apex Court decision in Vijay Madhanlal Choudhary's case, the court added that even if the contractors had ill-gotten money, the ED could not assume jurisdiction and proceed against them under the PMLA in the absence of a scheduled offense.
