The court asserted that the Prevention of Money Laundering Act doesn’t supersede the Criminal Procedure Code’s requirement for prior sanction. This decision aims to safeguard honest officials from unwarranted prosecution, ensuring they are not penalized for actions taken while performing their duties.
