#BREAKING: The Sessions Judge, Lucknow on Wednesday has ordered to release journalist Siddique Kappan on bail.

He was languishing in jail since December 21, 2021 after being charged under UAPA and later in PMLA case.

#siddiquekappan #PMLA #UAPA

Kappan, a reporter for Malayalam news portal Azhimukham, and secretary of the Delhi unit of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ), was arrested along with three others in UP, while on his way to Hathras to report on the gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit girl.

He was then booked under the UAPA and later under the PMLA.

In the UAPA case, he was denied bail by lower courts and the Allahabad High Court, before the top court granted him relief in August 2022.

@RURALINDIA

Have I understood it correctly?
On #PMLA SC has said : declaration by Parliament, ipso facto, satisfies the 'test' of compelling State interest.

Does that leave room for judicial scrutiny of a Law as all of them are passed / declared by the Parliament. Often, w/o debate.

More shocking is pulling up directive principles in support of upholding sections that are inversion of justice and due process.
Mind boggling is citation of State's obligation to prevent concentration of wealth in a few hands to justify draconian powers of arrest & detention.

SC completely missed the fact that ED's powers have actually been used by the State to concentrate wealth in a few hands - case in point - Mumbai Airport came to Adani only after ED booked GVK Group under PMLA.
That GVK owners weren't arrested can be attributed to sale to Adani

@P39A_nlud

Subject to reading the full judgment, here's a quick explainer of the SC's pronouncement:

1. To constitute money laundering, mere possession or use of proceeds of crime w/o projecting it as untainted is an offence.
#PMLA #PMLAExplained

2. The inclusion of a wide list of predicate offences under PMLA, covering variety of crimes, from IPC to Copyright violations, is prerogative of the legislature.

#PMLA #PMLAExplained

3. Investigation into money laundering can begin even in the absence of an FIR/investigation into predicate offence. But if predicate offence proceedings result in discharge or acquittal, then money laundering proceedings must also fall

PMLA Judgment by Sup Ct (bench headed by J Khanwilkar): The question is to whether some of the amendments in 2019 could not have been enacted by way of Money Bill has not been examined in this judgment

1/n #PMLA

PMLA Judgment by Sup Ct (bench headed by J Khanwilkar): S 3 has a wide reach, capturing every activity indirectly or directly related to money laundering, and is not related merely to the final act of laundering the money.

2/n #PMLA

PMLA Judgment by Sup Ct (bench headed by J Khanwilkar): Expression 'and' in S. 3 has to be interpreted as 'or', thus mere possession of proceeds of crime is money laundering. Argument of petitioner that concealment is necessary is rejected
