2012 (7) TMI 1031 - HC - Money LaunderingOffence under PMLA - Attachment of property involved in money-laundering - jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C.- seeking the relief of quashing the criminal proceedings in Original Complaint in Provisional Attachment Order - Held that:- It is pertinent to note here that on perusal of the records it is apparent that all the four cases in Crime Nos.277, 349, 350 and 391 of 2010 have been forwarded to the Magistrate for taking cognizance of the scheduled offences viz., the offences punishable under Sections 419, 420 and 471 I.P.C., It is also manifested that a prima facie case relating to an offence under Section 3 of P.M.L.A., 2002 is made out, which requires further investigation on the petitioners in accordance with the provisions of the said Act as well as with the rules framed therein. It is also crystallised that the second respondent has registered Enforcement Case Information Reports (ECIR) Nos.53 of 2010, 54 of 2010, 55 of 2010 and 56 of 2010 (Annexures VII to X). Keeping in view of the above facts, this Court is also of opinion that since the properties 51 in numbers, described in Annexure-I, have been provisionally attached so as to prevent the petitioners from transferring them in favour of the third parties, the question of sending a final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C., does not arise at this stage.
