<\/span>Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, imposes a higher threshold for the grant of bail in money-laundering cases. It does not, however, create an absolute or non-negotiable bar. The provision remains subject to the fundamental guarantees under Article 21 of the Constitution\u2014personal liberty and the right to a speedy trial. Courts therefore continue to exercise judicial discretion, guided by the twin conditions of Section 45 and the overarching constitutional principles that protect against indefinite pre-trial detention.<\/p>
