1. Both these petitions i.e. CRWP-951-2016 and CRWP-984-2016, arise out of the complaint (Annexure P-2) i.e. PMLA Case No.4 of 2015 titled 'Directorate of Enforcement v. M/s National Spot Exchange Limited and others', which arose out of FIR No.216 of 2013 dated 30.09.2013, and process issued thereon vide summons dated 13.01.2016 (Annexure P-3, collectively), pending in the Designated Court-Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002. There is also a challenge to the vires of the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 45 of the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002 (for short 'the Act').

2. It appears that in CRWP-951-2016, the Registry of this Court had raised objection No.4 on 16.07.2016 as to how the petition was maintainable in Punjab and Haryana High Court when the case is pending with the Designated Court for the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act at Mumbai. It appears that objection No.4 was answered by saying that the summons and complaint have been served at Panchkula/ Chandigarh and the entire transactions as per the complaint took place within the territory of State of Punjab. The petitions were, thus, placed before this Court for admission hearing and
