💨 Abstract

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed an appeal before the Supreme Court, asserting its right to enforce provisional attachment of properties suspected to be proceeds of crime, regardless of whether an FIR is for a scheduled/predicate offence. This appeal challenges a Madras High Court judgment that quashed ED's provisional attachment orders against 48 persons and mining companies accused of illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu.
