As ED and PMLA lawyer in Gurugram, we know these proceedings run on their own rules. The instinct that serves people well in ordinary criminal matters — cooperate fully and explain everything — can be costly here, and we guide clients through each stage with that in mind.
A Section 50 summons
Your statement is recorded on oath and is admissible against you. Do not respond to the agency before speaking to us, and do not alter or delete any record; it is detectable and is a separate offence. We help you assemble every document named in the summons so your answers are documentary rather than reconstructed under pressure, attend on the date with counsel engaged, and read the statement carefully before signing.
Provisional attachment
An attachment under Section 5 lapses unless it is confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority within 180 days. We contest that at the adjudication stage, not defer it to the eventual trial — property left unchallenged there is far harder to recover later.
Arrest and bail
Arrest under Section 19 requires reasons to be recorded and communicated. We then argue bail against the twin conditions of Section 45, which is a higher threshold than ordinary bail and needs a defence built on the record rather than on general assurances.
The scheduled offence
PMLA does not stand alone. Without a scheduled predicate offence there are no proceeds of crime, and what happens to the underlying FIR — quashing, discharge, acquittal — matters directly to the PMLA case. We run both together.
