The Supreme Court has refused to entertain a plea from former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel against Section 44 of the PMLA. The court's decision was based on a petition from Baghel, who alleged that the section was being misused by the ED. The court, however, clarified that the "devil is not in the law, but in the abuse" of the provisions.
