Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Appellants' petitions challenging the summons issued under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) and the complaint under Section 174 IPC. The Court clarified that the issuance of summons under PMLA does not violate the principles of natural justice and that the jurisdiction of the Enforcement Directorate is valid in this context. The Court further held that the Appellants must comply with the summons issued by the ED, affirming the High Court's decision.
