Supreme Court issues notice to Centre, ED on plea challenging Sections 50 & 63 of PMLA

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Centre and the Enforcement Directorate on a petition that has challenged the constitutionality of Section 50 and Section 63 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2022. READ | Explained: Supreme Court's big verdict on Prevention of Money Laundering Act During a brief hearing, senior advocate Kapil Sibal appeared for Singh and told the court that the summons issued by the ED was out of malice and sheer political vendetta only. The notice from the top court comes close on the heels of another set of petitions filed by 14 political parties in the Supreme Court, alleging arbitrary use of central investigating agencies such as the ED and CBI in arresting opposition leaders. The petition has also challenged Section 63 of the PMLA, which says that giving a false statement is an offence and states that the judgment in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary vs Union of India was passed without due regard, and the issue of legality of Section 50 and Section 63 of the PMLA needed to be settled by a larger constitutional bench of the Supreme Court.
