Money Laundering - The petitioner sought exemption from personal appearance, citing Section 205 Cr. P.C., while the Enforcement Directorate argued against it, citing the seriousness of economic offences. The Court, after analyzing previous precedents and statutory provisions, held that while Section 205 Cr. P.C. can be applied in PMLA cases, specific reasons must be provided for exemption. It emphasized the need for discretion and individual consideration of circumstances, highlighting the principles established in the Chintan Joshi case. Ultimately, the Court set aside the trial court's decision and remanded the matter for re-consideration, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach considering the interests of justice and the rights of the accused.
