Challenges to PMLA: CJI to speak with Justice Surya Kant on listing of review, other pleas

New Delhi, Chief Justice of India B R Gavai on Monday said he would speak to Justice Surya Kant on the issue of listing fresh petitions along with the pleas seeking review of a 2022 verdict upholding the key provisions of the PMLA including ED's powers to arrest, conduct searches and attach property. Challenges to PMLA: CJI to speak with Justice Surya Kant on listing of review, other pleas In 2022, the top court in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case upheld the key provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act . The judgment has since faced several legal challenges, including review pleas and the fresh writ petitions, challenging the verdict and seeking the reference of the matter to a larger bench. On July 31, a bench headed by Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan and N Kotiswar Singh said it would first hear arguments on the issue of maintainability of petitions seeking a review of its 2022 verdict. It, however, did not agree to hear the main pleas with review petitions and asked senior advocate Kapil Sibal to approach the CJI for directions. Accordingly, Sibal mentioned the issue before the CJI-led bench on Monday urging that both types of matters be heard together. Sibal was referring to the matter titled as ED v. M/s Obulapuram Mining Company Private and said in this matter, a three judge bench was constituted to decide whether the Vijay Madanlal Choudhary judgment should be referred to a larger bench. He said the bench comprising former judges Justices S K Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna and Bela M Trivedi had heard the matter on several occasions. Sibal further said in November 2023 the bench was dissolved in view of the retirement of Justice Kaul and the matter was not listed after that. A Justice Surya Kant-led bench agreed to hear review petitions on August 6 to deliberate upon preliminary objections. "The review petitions in the PMLA matter are listed for hearing on August 6 and 7. There was another 3-judge bench qua the PMLA matter where hearing could not be completed since Justice Kaul retired. I mentioned it to the other bench. They said mention it before your lordships for both the matters to be heard together," Sibal informed the CJI. "If your review is decided, this will also be covered," the CJI said. "Those matters were for the purposes of finding out which of the matters should be referred to the larger bench," Sibal said. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, on the other hand, objected to the submissions, saying by way of mentioning, petitioners were trying to overcome the recent order of Justice Kant's bench which said ED's preliminary objections to the maintainability of review would be first heard. "In review, notice was issued on a limited ground. To come out of that, they started filing other petitions raising all grounds," Mehta said. "Why should both the matters be heard differently?" Sibal asked. "Suppose, if review itself is found to be maintainable then..." the CJI asked. "I can still argue the reference. Because review is a limited jurisdiction. I can still argue some of the issues should be referred to a larger bench," Sibal said. "I will speak to the learned judge," the CJI offered. On July 31, the Justice Surya Kant-led bench said the ED proposed three preliminary issues, primarily dealing with the question of the maintainability of the review petitions. The bench said the review petitioners proposed 13 questions for its consideration. "Since the proposed issues are arising in the review proceedings, we propose to firstly hear the parties on the issue of maintainability of the review petitions, followed by the hearing on the questions proposed to be raised on behalf of the review petitioners," the bench said. It said eventually, the questions that might finally arise for consideration would also be determined by the court, if it holds that the review pleas are maintainable. The bench posted the matter for hearing on August 6. On May 7, the top court asked the parties to frame the issues to be adjudicated in the matter. The Centre contended that the hearing of the review petitions cannot go beyond the two specific issues flagged by the apex court bench that issued notices on the petitions in August 2022. Mehta said the bench which considered the review petitions for admission in August 2022, issued notices only on two aspects the supply of the ECIR copy to the accused and the reversal of the burden of proof under section 24 of the PMLA.

PM Modi to address NDA parliamentary meeting on August 5

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday (August 5, 2025), a get-together of the ruling alliance's MPs which is being held after a considerable gap. The NDA meeting comes a couple of days before the filing of nomination for Vice-President's election begins from August 7. The NDA will have to announce its candidate, whose election will be a certainty due to the alliance's majority in the electoral college, by August 21, the last date of nomination-filing and the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The meeting comes in the middle of a session which has been all but a washout so far, except for a two-day discussion on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, due to a united Opposition's ceaseless protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar by the Election Commission of India. Mr. Modi is expected to speak on a host of current issues as the Opposition has been raising the heat over the poll body's alleged partisan conduct favouring the government, and the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The Prime Minister is also likely to be felicitated by the parliamentary party over his government's military response to the terror strike. The electoral college for the vice president poll includes MPs of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and its current strength is 782. If the Opposition also names a candidate, a distinct possibility, then the poll is scheduled to be held on September 9. Sources said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and a few BJP national general secretaries are likely to be coordinating with allies for the vice presidential poll. Since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, when the BJP lost its majority but comfortably crossed the halfway mark with allies, the sessional meeting of the party's MPs was expanded to include its allies. PM Modi had addressed the first such meeting on July 2. However, no meeting has been held in the last few sessions. Before the last national elections, he used to address the weekly meetings of BJP parliamentary party, now expanded to include party's allies such as the TDP, JD(U), and LJP (Ram Vilas). The meeting is attended by MPs of the ruling alliance, and Mr. Modi often covers a sweep of political and governance issues, and at times touches on the government's agenda in Parliament. He often offers to the MPs talking points to be raised in public, especially their constituencies.
