Deepak Kochhar questions PMLA tribunal status

Hindustan Times  

Former ICICI Bank managing director Chanda Kochhar’s husband, Deepak, has questioned the independence and impartiality of the appellate tribunal for Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Deepak Kochhar, who is facing charges of money laundering, has said that the administrative control of the judicial tribunal is with the finance ministry, which is also the administrative ministry of the Enforcement Directorate, which is investigating the case. “There has been a consistent and constant effort of ministry of finance to keep the administrative control of the PMLA tribunal with itself despite directions from the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India,” read the petition dated February 8, filed on behalf of Deepak Kochhar’s firm NuPower Wind Farms Ltd. “The appellate tribunal constituted under the provisions of Section 25 of the PMLA is not an independent and impartial forum. Directorate of Enforcement is having the administrative control of the tribunal, it is a reasonable apprehension in the mind of the petitioner that the appellate tribunal will not function in an independent and impartial manner.” The petition further said that “such is the level of administrative control the Department of Revenue that not only the staff and judges of the PMLA appellate tribunal is appointed by it, but the very premises of the tribunal is in the headquarters of ED in New Delhi.” ED has said in its charge sheet filed in November last year that both Chanda Kochhar and her husband worked in tandem as part of a conspiracy to disburse loans to Videocon group and then used an “elaborate structure/web of entities” for layering the bribe amount of ₹64 crore that they received.
