2018 (10) TMI 1013 - AT - Money LaunderingOffence under PMLA - no appeal against the acquittal order was filed by the State - Held that:- Both the husband and wife were also arrayed as respondent in the PMLA complaint which was pending before the Court of III Addl. District and Sessions Judge, D.K., Mangaluru, who by Order dated 10th August, 2018, has allowed the application filed by them under Section 227 of the Criminal Procedure Code and both were discharged from the offence punishable under Section 3, read with Section 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. Thus, there is no need to go into the merit of the case. Once the main accused in the schedule offence as well as the complaint under the PMLA has been discharged and the said final judgement has not been challenged by the respondent in the higher court, the appeals are liable to be allowed. Both the appeals are accordingly allowed. The impugned order dated 22.09.2016 with regard to the above mentioned two appeals are set-aside. Consequently, the provisional attachment order is also quashed. The properties attached are released forthwith.
