SC jolt to opposition: Top court upholds ED's powers amid misuse charge on Modi govt

The Supreme Court has upheld the Enforcement Directorate’s power to arrest and seize properties under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act as it dismissed several petitions challenging the provisions of the law. A bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravikumar passed the order on a batch of 241 petitions challenging the validity of various provisions of the law. In its order, the court also held that Section 45 of the Act was legal and not unreasonable. The provision makes offences under the law cognisable and non-bailable. It also states that when a bail plea is opposed, the court needs to be satisfied that the accused person is not guilty and will not commit any crime after release. This comes even as the opposition continues to protest against the misuse of agencies by the Modi government. Watch this report to know more.

Great job, I am really feeling proud on the decision of supreme court 👍

law and justice are equal for everyone but it happens the other way in reality ...

[devadasanmungath]

The attachment figures, ₹5346cr in the UPA era Vs ₹99, 356cr in the NDA era, reflects which dispensation is serious in curbing money laundering. The fact that the conviction rate is low is primarily due to the undue delay in trial in the courts. Case in point is the National Herald case which was filed by Subramanyam Swamy in 2013 when he was in the Janata party (joined BJP in 2014). Nine years later the trial of the Gandhi parivar is not complete and they are out on bail. Chief Justice NV Ramanna who has the habit of blaming everybody else except themselves should ask lower courts & High Courts to expedite hearings so that those found guilty are brought to justice. Navjot Sidhu's case took over 30 years for the victim to get justice.

Finally Supreme Court do some good work..

[madhavant]

ED deserves full support from everyone in conducting their national duty. Thanks to their efforts we are able to recover looted and hidden money by some atleast. ED should be further strengthened.

[premlatamenon]

It is time looting of public money by corrupt politicians is made a criminal offence with life imprisonment 🙏🙏👍

[equityboss]

If ED does its work of eliminating the Money Laundering cases in India then people who are accused will definitely say Govt. is misusing ED. Because of ED the FATF is happy with India and it should be. India should not be a safe Haven for black Money.

SC - ED you are responsible for all this mess
ED - judge saab, come out from secularism fever...this is different case :) :) :)

[jasnooraroranoor]

We are all equal before the law, but not before those appointed to applyit .

[चंद्रहास-चड]

Congress & other political parties are not above laws & interrogation with any politician is completely acceptable in Democracy. Those who are anti- nationals & belongs to 'Revdi Culture' are going to be punished first by Laws & then by People of India in elections. 💪🇮🇳💪

[rahulpratap]

Obviously why institutions shouldn't be used? Rule of law...!!!

[myexisliberal]
