๐ Paras 1-2
The petitioner, a promoter of a real estate company, sought to quash a prosecution complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, pending before the Special Judge, PMLA, Gurugram. During arguments, the prayer was restricted to transferring the PMLA case from Gurugram to Delhi. The case arose from allegations of cheating homebuyers and diversion of funds through various group companies, including a shell company used to siphon funds to a Sri Lankan subsidiary. A new scheduled offence was registered based on further evidence of involvement of directors and promoters in cheating investors.
