The Supreme Court recently ruled that for a retention order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to apply, it is not necessary for the person to be named as an accused. The decision emphasizes that as long as a complaint alleging an offense under Section 3 is pending before a court, the retention order on seized electronic items, documents, and cash remains in effect.
The ruling, delivered in a case where the order was passed on April 4, 2018, clarifies that the continuation of such orders is linked to the progress of proceedings rather than the specific naming of the accused. This decision overturns previous interpretations and reinforces the authority of investigative agencies to retain seized assets until the final disposal of the complaint.
