The Allahabad High Court has ruled that unexplained assets cannot automatically be treated as proceeds of crime under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court held that prosecutors must establish a clear and demonstrable link between the assets and a scheduled offense before initiating PMLA proceedings. In the case at hand, the prosecution failed to identify any proceeds of crime directly arising from a scheduled offense.

The judgment reinforces that a proven nexus with criminal activity is essential for a valid PMLA case.
