Show Cause Notice under PMLA - The court observed that the prior statutory timeline for retention and freezing had expired, and no scheduled offence was established at that time. An adjudicating authority issued a show cause notice under Section 8(1) of PMLA on 10.12.2021 to petitioners, who responded accordingly. The issuance of such notices must adhere to procedural safeguards to prevent arbitrary actions.
