Supreme Court Empowers PMLA Accused | Fair Trial & Evidence Access Expanded! #ytshorts #supremecourt



πŸ”” BREAKING LEGAL UPDATE: In a landmark judgment in Sarla Gupta & Anr. v. Directorate of Enforcement (Crl.A. No. 1622/2022), the Supreme Court of India has strengthened the rights of the accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

πŸ‘‰ Key Highlights of the Judgment:

Accused must be informed about all documents and statements collected by the ED but not relied upon in the prosecution complaint.

Courts must liberally allow applications under Section 91 CrPC / 94 BNSS to access such material.

Reinforces Article 21 – Right to Fair Trial, even during bail hearings.

Accused can recall witnesses under Section 311 CrPC if new evidence is accessed.

Overrules the Delhi HC’s restrictive view.

βš–οΈ This judgment ensures transparency, strengthens procedural safeguards, and balances the reverse burden under PMLAβ€”a significant victory for the accused!

πŸ“Œ Stay tuned for an in-depth legal analysis and its implications on ongoing and future PMLA cases.

πŸ“š Relevant Provisions: Section 91 CrPC | Section 311 CrPC | Article 21 of the Constitution | PMLA, 2002

πŸ“Œ Bench: Justice Abhay S. Oka and others
