ED Can Update ECIR Unlike FIR: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court held that unlike an FIR, the Enforcement Directorate can update an ECIR as investigation progresses. The Court observed that an ECIR is an internal document and not governed by the procedural constraints applicable to FIRs under the CrPC. The ruling clarifies investigative flexibility under the PMLA while reiterating that accused persons retain statutory and constitutional safeguards during proceedings.
