The Top Court has dismissed the plea filed by journalist Rana Ayyub that challenged the jurisdiction of a Ghaziabad court which started proceedings against her in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case.
A Bench comprising of Justice V Ramasubramanian and Justice JB Pardiwala in their order said that under Section 3 of the PMLA,the place where concealment, possession, acquisition, use, projecting it as untainted property or claiming it as untainted property takes place is the place where the offence of money laundering is said to have taken place.
The Court further added that the place where bank account in Navi Mumbai is the destination to which the process of crime have reached.
The court also said that the question whether the place at which any of the six activities have taken place is based upon the evidence. Therefore, we leave it open to raise this issue before the trial court on the basis of evidence and dismissing the Writ Petition.
