Case Law Analysis
|Madras High Court
Section 44(1)(c) PMLA cannot be invoked before Special Court takes cognizance and sanction is produced | Premature committal applications rejected : Madras HC
The Madras High Court ruled that a Directorate of Enforcement committal petition under Section 44(1)(c) of the PMLA is invalid if filed before the Special Court has taken cognizance and the requisite sanction is produced. This bars premature transfers of DA cases to Special Courts, affecting enforcement agencies and the accused.
