PMLA case against C'garh IAS officer, son quashed

|April 09, 2024
THE Supreme Court on Monday quashed the money laundering case against former IAS officer Anil Tuteja and his son Yash Tuteja in the alleged ₹2,000 crore liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, saying there were no proceeds of crime.
A two-judge bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan quashed the case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), after noting that since no ex-facie scheduled offence (main offence) exists against the accused, no offence was made out by the probe agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
It pronounced the order after hearing a batch of writ petitions filed by six accused, including IAS officer Tuteja, his son and some other personnel.
Monday's court order has come as a major blow to the ED, which failed to gather evidence against the accused.
