Days after Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and his kin were discharged in a money laundering case concerning the alleged multi-crore Maharashtra Sadan scam and other cases, Social activist Anjali Damania has written to the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, seeking suspension of the order of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court due to alleged “mistakes concerning predicate offences”.
“The impugned order proceeds on the incorrect assumption that the foundation of the prosecution no longer exists, thereby it undermines the purpose of PIL No. 23/ 2014, nullifying years of investigation ordered by the Court and also setting a precedent that large-scale corruption can be defeated by piecemeal discharges,” said Anjali Damania, requesting the Court to stay the operation and effect of the impugned order.
