'Coal-scam: Acquiring proceeds of crime can't be termed money laundering' - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

A Delhi court has refused to take cognisance of a chargesheet against Adhunik Corporation Limited and its two directors in a coal scam case lodged by the ED, saying an attempt to acquire proceeds of crime or anticipating undue benefits cannot be termed money laundering.

In his December 23 order, Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj granted relief to Adhunik Corporation Ltd (ACL) and its then directors Mahesh Kumar Agarwal and Nirmal Kumar Agarwal in the case related to the New Patra Para coal block in Odisha.

According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the family members and Group companies of the accused infused funds amounting to Rs 50.37 crore in the garb of share capital in ACL in anticipation of "undue benefit to be derived or obtained" by ACL as a result of, or consequence to, criminal activity relating to a scheduled offence (lodged by the CBI), resulting into allotment of coal block.
