2018 (1) TMI 502 - HC - Money LaunderingApplication of provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 - pray for quashing and setting aside of Enforcement Case Information Report with different numbers registered by respondent no.2 Directorate of Enforcement against them, along with enquiry/investigation therein - Held that:- It is apparent that this court cannot make any observation and record any finding which will interfere with proceedings pending before the Appellate Tribunal. It is also apparent that this court cannot and could not have passed an order granting any interim relief to the petitioners in present matters. Though petitioners have not relied upon the judgment delivered by the Division Bench of Karnataka High Court, the respondents have pointed out, that the view reached there in favour of petitioners is stayed in Special Leave Petition by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, and the said Division Bench judgment cannot be cited as a precedent. We have already made some comments upon petitioners' contentions based upon Article 20, and we need not therefore, go into this issue at all. Thus we uphold the preliminary objection raised by learned A.S.G.I. We declare that Criminal Writ Petitions filed before this Court are not maintainable. We also clarify that the observations made by us supra, are in the light of arguments advanced and only to the extent necessary to evaluate the same. The same will not have any bearing or influence on the pending appeal before the Appellate Authority under 2002 Act, or pending prosecutions before the Special Court at New Delhi. Accordingly Writ Petitions are dismissed
