Supreme Court Constitutes New Bench to Hear Review Pleas on 2022 PMLA Verdict
The Supreme Court has formed a new three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant to hear review petitions challenging its July 2022 ruling that upheld key provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The new Bench includes Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, replacing the earlier Bench due to changes in judicial assignments. The review petitions seek reconsideration of the constitutional validity of several PMLA provisions, including the Enforcement Directorate's powers. The Court emphasized urgency and will schedule a hearing date soon.
