The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a batch of review petitions challenging its 2022 judgment that upheld the Enforcement Directorate's powers to arrest accused persons, attach properties linked to money laundering and conduct search and seizure under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana took note of submissions by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Congress MP Karti Chidambaram, that notices on the review petitions had been issued in August 2022 and that the pleas should now be taken up for hearing.
