'Stale material', no summons: Why ED arrests in Gameskraft PMLA case didn't hold up before Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court has dismissed Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrests in a Gameskraft money laundering case, citing outdated material and procedural errors. The court's comprehensive 134-page ruling emphasized that the ED's authority under Section 19 of the PMLA is not absolute and must be exercised judiciously. This decision underscores the importance of adhering to legal protocols in anti-corruption investigations, highlighting potential pitfalls in enforcement actions that lack fresh evidence or proper legal grounding.
