V. SENTHIL BALAJI vs THE STATE REPRESENTED BY DEPUTY DIRECTOR

The Supreme Court examined a dispute arising from a division of opinion by the Madras High Court regarding the remand of an individual in a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The core issue was whether the remand order, passed during a Habeas Corpus petition, was justified, especially in the absence of a specific challenge to the remand. The Court analyzed the procedural aspects and the grounds raised, ultimately emphasizing the importance of adherence to legal procedures in remand orders. The judgment underscores the Court's role in safeguarding individual liberty while respecting investigative procedures.
