PMLA inverts Criminal Law Idea

PMLA triggerable on every of your transaction linked to living; an unprecedented & impossible concept of Criminal Law



Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) Transcends Time & Territory (TTT). This means no Territory & no Time is immune from it. YOU, ME & ALL are under its clutch. If not triggered as yet, we are either at the benevolence of Enforcement Directorate (ED), a Central Govt. Agency, or their lack of infrastructure for their entire existing infrastructure busy prosecuting others. 

Mind you, it has Inverted the IDEA of LAW on every count through inscription of “WE HAVE REASONS TO BELIEVE”, making the Executive/Public Institutions, an Intermediary, a Complainant, an Investigator, a Prosecutor while withholding many natural Powers of the Court including in particular grant of Bail.

It was JUSTIFIED by Parliament on ground of “Organised Trans-Border Heinous Crime.”

One IMPORTANT factor in USA under terrorist attack (09.11.2001), known as Twin-Tower attack, foisted this law globally to make immediate control over suspected terrorists through a globally monitored & networked mechanism to avoid local Law web.

Over 2 decades it received substantial transformation to its present avatar with justification shifting from the then Original Reason (supra) to the present Reason, "To protect the FINANCIAL INTEGRITY of the Nation".

COMPARE this change of Reason carefully. With TTT as its shape, test PMLA

1.    If anyone is beyond the Jurisdiction of ED &

2.    Could any sane man give this level of Power even in his wildest dream to his representative/ Public Institutions to test if such Law-Making Power does exist with Parliament

RESPONSIBILITY lies in navigating the debate on Scale of Law than anything else including Political one for it covers 100% world population of today, yesterday & tomorrow. Thus,

1.    Knowing is empowering,

2.    Spreading is safeguarding &

3.    Engaging in a healthy debate is securing.

More than anything else, time has come to define Entry 97 of Union List of 7th Schedule of The Constitution of India by understanding & reflecting on "WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA" in Preamble if any seamless Power of the nature in PMLA is ever contemplated & is naturally permissible, “a 4th dimension of Constitutionality TEST of any Legislation”.

NOTE: I don't want to bring a Political debate but tempted to reflect that "On a POLITICAL SCALE, Poor State Govts are clueless that their criminal Jurisdiction is usurped & used left, right & centre & ironically against their own ministers & executives to their surprise & dismay."
