ECIR Under PMLA Not Quashed By FIR Discharge: HC
Kashmir Observer
|MAY 27, 2025 ISSUE
The High Court of J&K and Ladakh has held that the mere discharge or quashing of a FIR by a competent court does not automatically result in the quashing of an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
“The two proceedings, while factually linked by the scheduled offence, are legally independent and governed separately,” a bench of Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal said while hearing a petition filed by N Kansal, a resident of New Delhi, seeking quashing of ECIR under PMLA, summons issued under Section 50 PMLA, and related search/seizure actions.
