Karnataka HC quashes ED money laundering case against Congress MLA and others

The Karnataka High Court has set aside an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) registered by the Enforcement Directorate against a Congress MLA and other individuals. The court observed that the ED cannot act as a super cop, underlining the limits of its investigative authority. The ruling quashes the basis on which the agency had initiated its money laundering probe against the accused. The judgment reinforces the principle that the agency must operate within the bounds of the law governing its powers.
