Supreme Court Quashes Money Laundering Case Against Karnataka Dy CM DK Shivakumar & Aide

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the appeals filed by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and his aide challenging criminal proceedings in a 2018 money laundering case. The primary reason cited by the single-judge bench of the high court was that Section 120B of the Indian Penal constituted a stand-alone offence adequate to invoke the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. In November, the Supreme Court in its landmark Pavana Dibbur case held that Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code becomes a scheduled offence only when the conspiracy is directed towards committing an offence that is otherwise scheduled. Referencing this judgment, the Supreme Court today allowed the appeals of DK Shivakumar and his aides, setting aside the Karnataka High Court's judgment and quashing the proceedings initiated under the PMLA against them.
