Chhattisgarh govt. withdraws plea against PMLA provisions

The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Chhattisgarh to withdraw its petition challenging the legality of provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

A Division Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and S.V.N. Bhatti allowed the State to bow out.

The State’s withdrawal comes a day after Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul informed in open court that the Supreme Court has constituted a special three-judge Bench to review a July 2022 judgment which upheld amendments introduced in the PMLA which gave the Enforcement Directorate (ED) wide powers to arrest and summon individuals and raid private property.
