PMLA | Is Accused Entitled To Documents Which Prosecution Isn't Relying Upon In Trial? Supreme Court To Examine

The Supreme Court of India is set to examine whether the prosecution must provide the accused with documents not relied upon in a trial under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The case challenges a Delhi High Court ruling that denied such an obligation at the pre-trial stage. The defense argues this right is protected under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court's decision will address whether Section 207 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) applies to PMLA cases and the rights of the accused in accessing potentially exculpatory evidence.
