The Supreme Court has upheld the validity of various provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). A three-judge bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravi Kumar passed the order. Petitions had challenged the process of arrest, seizure and investigation carried out by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under PMLA provisions. "Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) cannot be equated with FIR as ECIR is an internal document of Enforcement Directorate. Supply of ECIR to accused is not mandatory and only disclosure of reasons during arrest is enough," said the SC while passing the order, reported news agency ANI.
