2023 (3) TMI 585 - HC - Money LaunderingSeeking grant of anticipatory bail - money laundering - predicate offences - proceeds of crime - requirements of section 45 of PMLA fulfilled or not - HELD THAT:- The Court has gone through the materials on the record and finds that the money laundering amount alleged to be Rs.141,47,59,798/- and proceeds of crime has also been enjoyed by the petitioner. The petitioner was proprietor of M/s DJN Commodity and M/s Divya Jyoti Securities. The argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner is not accepted by this Court looking into para 3.10 of the complaint with regard to employment on the post of Director of the said company on salary basis. Thus, there are materials against the petitioner. So far as the order relied by the learned counsel for the petitioner in Dalip Singh Mann [2015 (10) TMI 2580 - PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURT] that was the order of the year 2015 and the judgment in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary [2022 (7) TMI 1316 - SUPREME COURT] has been delivered recently in the year 2022. Thus, that judgment is also not helping the petitioner. Moreover, the petitioners of that case were father-in-law and mother-in-law of Jagdish Singh @ Bhola, who was alleged to be the kingpin of drug mafia and considering this aspect of the matter, anticipatory bail was granted to the petitioners by Punjab and Haryana High Court. The facts of the present case are otherwise not helping the petitioner. Considering that Section 45 of PMLA are not fulfilled by the petitioner, the Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. Petition dismissed.
