Section 50 of PMLA does not give ED power to arrest: HC
Hindustan Times|October 20, 2023
The Enforcement Directorate's (ED) power to issue summons under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) does not include the power to arrest a person and does not arise as a natural corollary of requiring a person's attendance, the Delhi high court has said, while holding that authorities "cannot take a person into custody on their whims and fancies".
