2018 (4) TMI 1935 - HC - Money LaunderingMoney Laundering - proceeds of crime - scheduled offences - forged documents - illegal money by making calls on certain pre-fixed international numbers and putting on hold such calls in the manner described in the complaint - offences punishable under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B I.P.C. - HELD THAT:- By the amending Act of 2009, the provisions of PML Act were amended and Scheduled offences under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120B IPC which were in Part B of the Schedule were brought in Part A of the Schedule. Further, Part B of the Schedule was omitted. Thus the offence alleged to have been committed by the petitioners in acquiring or processing etc., of proceeds of crime were always part of the Schedule appended to the PML Act. The arguments of the counsel for the petitioners that these offences were not part of the Schedule at the time when the offence is alleged to have been committed by them, does not hold good in view of expressed provisions of the Act and the Schedule. There are no merit in the petitions and the same are therefore, dismissed.
