SC declines to entertain Baghel’s plea against ED’s further probe powers

New Delhi, Aug 11 (UNI) The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a petition filed by former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel challenging the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) powers under Section 44 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to conduct further investigations based on supplementary complaints after the original complaint.
A Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi observed that there was “nothing wrong in the provision,” and any grievance regarding its misuse should be raised before the High Court.
“The devil is not in the law but in the abuse,” Justice Bagchi remarked, while Justice Kant reiterated, “If it is being abused, then go to the High Court.”
