On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of India set July 31 as the date for hearing a batch of petitions seeking a review of the 2022 ruling that upholds the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) powers of arrest and attachment of property engaged in money laundering, as well as search and seizures of assets under the Protection of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

As reported by news agency PTI, the bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi adjourned the matter, which was listed for hearing on Wednesday, to July 31 after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said he was not available.
Appearing for the petitioners, senior advocate Kapil Sibal said that he has no objection if the matter is listed on July 31.

On May 7, the apex court of India asked the Centre and the petitioners to frame issues to be adjudicated in challenge to a verdict that upheld the Enforcement Directorate's powers to arrest and attach property of the accused under PMLA and other economic offences.
