Money laundering cases: High yardstick for granting bail must not be given the go-by: HC
Hindustan TimesRefusing bail to a 74-year-old auditor, an accused in a money laundering scam worth ₹1,626 crore, the Punjab and Haryana high court has said that high yardstick for granting bail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, must not be given a go-by. Refusing bail to a 74-year-old auditor, an accused in a money laundering scam worth ₹ 1,626 crore, the Punjab and Haryana high court has said that high yardstick for granting bail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, must not be given a go-by. Such offences are committed with intense planning and calculation, and camouflaged surreptitiously, necessitating the investigating agency to go through the material collected with a fine comb so as to uncover such scams which, if left unaddressed, would without doubt be fatal to economic health of the country,” the bench of justice Manjari Nehru Kaul said, adding that the rigors of Section 45 of the PMLA which lay down an exceptionally high yardstick for grant of bail under PMLA, must not be given the go-by. The plea was from one Surjit Kumar Bansal, an auditor and accused in the money laundering probe involving Chandigarh based M/s Parabolic Drugs Limited, being probed by CBI and ED for allegedly defrauding a consortium of banks, led by the Central Bank of India, of ₹1,626.74 crore between 2009 and 2014.
