Money Laundering--Arrest Under PMLA--Similarity of Reasons to Believe and Grounds of Arrest Under Section 19 PMLA Does Not Establish Non-Application of Mind
Similarity between "reasons to believe" and "grounds of arrest" under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 does not by itself establish non-application of mind or invalidate an arrest. Narration of the same material facts in both documents does not negate independent satisfaction of the arresting authority. Adequacy or sufficiency of material collected during investigation cannot be examined through a roving enquiry in writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. Judicial review of arrests under special statutes such as the PMLA is limited to examining compliance with statutory safeguards and does not extend to testing the probative value of investigative material.
