SC on Bails in PMLA Cases: Bail Is Rule, Jail Is Exception Even in Money Laundering Cases, Says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Wednesday observed that the principle of bail is the rule and jail is the exception applied even in cases of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The apex court's decision came as it granted bail to Prem Prakash, an alleged aide of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a money laundering case. A bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan said this while delivering a verdict allowing bail to an accused in a money laundering case. The top court today reiterated that Section 45 of the PMLA only lays down the twin conditions that should be met to consider bail for an accused in a money laundering case. The apex court said that the provisions of PMLA do not alter the fundamental principle that bail is the rule.
