The high court said the predicate offence has to be necessarily investigated and tried by the authorities empowered by law in that regard and the ED cannot possibly arrogate unto itself the power to investigate into the alleged commission of those offences. What needs to be emphasised is that the PMLA empowers the ED to investigate Section 3 offences only.
