德里高等法院阻止ED在没有严格法律依据的情况下签发不可保释的逮捕证,对设在联合王国的商人Sachin Dev Duggal作出不利裁决。
Delhi High Court blocks ED from issuing non-bailable warrants without strict legal grounds, ruling against UK-based businessman Sachin Dev Duggal.
德里高等法院裁定,除非符合《刑事诉讼法》第73条规定的严格法律条件,撤销对总部设在联合王国的商人Sachin Dev Duggal的NBW,否则执法局(ED)不得在调查期间签发不可保释的逮捕令。
The Delhi High Court ruled that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) cannot issue non-bailable warrants (NBWs) during investigations unless strict legal conditions under Section 73 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are met, setting aside NBWs against UK-based businessman Sachin Dev Duggal.
法院表示,NBW仅适用于特定案件——如逃犯、宣告罪犯或逃避逮捕者——并未发现任何规定适用于未被指控或逃亡的Duggal。
The court stated NBWs are only permissible in specific cases—such as for escaped convicts, proclaimed offenders, or those evading arrest—and found none applied to Duggal, who was not accused or fleeing.
法院认为,根据第50条未遵守PMLA传票并不为违反非暴力武器(NBW)的理由,只能根据印度刑法第174条采取行动。
Non-compliance with a PMLA summons under Section 50 does not justify NBWs, the court held, and may only lead to action under Section 174 of the Indian Penal Code.
该决定限制了ED的调查权力,强调NBW是一种例外措施,而不是一种例行工具。
The decision limits the ED’s investigative powers, reinforcing that NBWs are an exceptional measure, not a routine tool.
该裁决于12月19日作出,是对《反洗钱法》规定的调查权力界限的重大澄清。
The ruling, delivered on December 19, was a significant clarification on the boundaries of investigative authority under the PMLA.
