Composition of Adjudicating Authority under PMLA and its Jurisdiction - Whether the quasi judicial bodies should consist of members having requisite qualification in the field of law and should be appointed instead of members having no experience in the field of law? - The Telangana High Court set aside the learned Single Judge's order, holding that the PMLA does not mandate the Adjudicating Authority to include a member with legal experience. The PMLA provisions allow for the Authority to perform its designated functions without this requirement, supported by the appellate mechanism that ensures judicial review and adherence to legal standards.
