P. Chidambaram vs Directorate Of Enforcement on 5 September, 2019
In P. Chidambaram vs. Directorate of
Enforcement (2019) 9 SCC 24, the Hon‟ble Supreme Court has held
that a scheduled/predicate offence is a sine qua non for the offence of
money-laundering which would generate the money which is being
laundered. At its highest, this allegation links the petitioner to
generation of „proceeds of crime‟ which is not a crime under the
PMLA.
