Investigation under PMLA - There is hardly any scope to afford prior opportunity of hearing in a proceeding under PMLA. If the proposition of the applicants that, prior opportunity of hearing be afforded before starting the investigation is to be accepted by the Court, then the investigating officers will never be able to conclude the investigation in a time bound manner. There may be several persons involved in an offence under the PMLA. It is for the investigating officer to decide as to who should be interrogated and when. It is not for the suspected/proposed accused or the accused to dictate terms upon the investigating officer as to how and in which manner the investigation should proceed. - HC
