2017 (5) TMI 1645 - HC - Money LaunderingOffence under PMLA - anticipatory bail - Held that:- Allegations made against the petitioner and his son are serious in nature. Proceedings in terms of ECIR and IPC are distinct in nature and operate in different fields. Even though the offence falls under Part 'A' after the amendment and before the Amendment of 2013, it was under Part 'B' of the Schedule, still prima facie nature of the case can be looked into while deciding the anticipatory bail. Petitioner was directed to join the proceedings by this Court passed in Civil Writ Petition. Thereafter on nine occasions, summons were issued to him, but he did not turn up and did not comply with the aforesaid order. The pleadings made in the present petition are conspicuously silent about the rigor of non-appearance in view of aforesaid order except a meagre recital in para No.5 of the petition that the aforesaid writ petition was disposed of and a review application is pending consideration. In view of above, the conduct of the petitioner is not such which entitles him the extra ordinary relief of anticipatory bail. Consequently, the petition is dismissed.
