Out Of 5000 PMLA Cases, Only 40 Convictions In 10 Years' : Supreme Court Says ED Must Focus On Quality Prosecution

The Supreme Court expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of prosecution conducted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Vijay Madanlal case. The judges voiced concerns over the ED's investigative processes and the overall handling of the prosecution, suggesting deficiencies in maintaining the necessary legal standards. This discontent reflects the judiciary's expectations for thorough and competent prosecution, particularly in cases involving significant financial crimes. The Supreme Court's critique aims to prompt improvements in the ED's approach to ensure more robust and reliable prosecution efforts in future cases.
