PMLA Section 66(2) | ED’s Financial Intelligence Sharing with Police for UAPA Probes Upheld as Prima Facie Unlawful Activity: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that the Enforcement Directorate may share financial intelligence under PMLA Section 66(2) with police for UAPA investigations, holding that systematic foreign fund flows into Naxal-affected regions constitute prima facie unlawful activity. This judgment clarifies inter-agency coordination powers and sets a precedent for national security-linked financial probes.
