PMLA Accused Can't Travel Abroad

In a significant ruling, the court has clarified that personal preference for medical treatment abroad does not constitute a valid ground for permitting overseas travel by individuals accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This decision is expected to have implications for those facing charges under the PMLA, as it limits their ability to travel abroad for medical purposes. The PMLA is a law enacted to prevent and control money laundering in India. It gives authorities the power to attach and confiscate property derived from money laundering. The law also applies to individuals who have committed offenses under other laws, such as the Indian Penal Code, and have generated proceeds from such offenses.
