Money Laundering Protirodh Oddhadesh, 2008

Section ২(ঠ)(অ)(আ)- Money Laundering Protirodh Ain, 2002, Section 13- It is a settled proposition that a criminal proceeding cannot be quashed on the basis of defence materials before admitting the same as evidence in the course of trial.

We are of the view that the High Court Division after hearing both the parties and on perusal of the materials on record rightly found that the claim of the petitioner as to her ignorance about the alleged transaction involves question of fact which cannot be decided at this stage. We further hold the view that an accused cannot be discharged when there are prima facie ingredients of the offence alleged to stifle the prosecution before trial and that the nature of offence can well be thrashed out in the trial. This criminal petition for leave to appeal is dismissed.....Mafruza Sultana -VS- State, [9 LM (AD) 370]
