The Supreme Court of India has postponed its hearing on petitions seeking reconsideration of its 2022 verdict that upheld the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) powers under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) until October 3. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested the adjournment, while Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the petitioners, argued against it, highlighting the need for legal clarity. The court has indicated that it acknowledges the serious nature of money laundering and has previously identified key issues for consideration. The 2022 ruling confirmed the ED's authority to arrest, conduct searches, and seize assets associated with money laundering. Prominent figures, including Congress MP Karti Chidambaram, have filed review petitions challenging the provisions upheld by the court. The Supreme Court aims to provide ample opportunity for both sides to present their arguments in the upcoming session.
