Pavana Dibbur vs The Directorate Orf Enforcement on 17 April, 2023

38. The Hon‟ble Supreme Court has very categorically laid down the distinction with respect to „proceeds of crime‟. The above paras hold that any property derived or obtained directly or indirectly „as a result of criminal activity‟ which is a scheduled offence under the PMLA is proceeds of crime. In other words, any property obtained following the commission of the scheduled offence or from the proceeds of the scheduled offence will be the proceeds of crime. Further, it is also appropriate to refer to the judgment of Pavana Dibbur v. Enforcement Directorate, 2023 SCC OnLine SC 1586 wherein it was observed that for proceeds of crime, the existence of the scheduled offence is a condition precedent. To invoke section 3 of PMLA, it is not necessary that the accused persons must have been shown as accused in the scheduled offences and the proceeds of crime must be from the scheduled offence.
