Pankaj Bansal vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court dismissed petitions challenging the constitutional validity of Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, affirming its validity as upheld by the Court in previous rulings. The Court held that pending review petitions did not alter the law's validity and that the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions was justified. The case primarily concerns the legal standing of the provisions of the Act and the procedural aspects of arrest and detention under it. The Court reinforced the principle that the validity of legislation, once upheld, remains binding despite pending review petitions.
