The Story in Brief
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Karnataka High Court that a fresh judicial member has been appointed to the PMLA Adjudicating Authority, following the Supreme Court's guidelines in the JSW case. Additional Solicitor General Arvind Kamath made the submission before Justice M. Nagaprasanna on Wednesday.
The Indian Opinion
The ED's assurance to the Karnataka High Court about appointing a judicial member is a step in the right direction. However, the repeated need for court intervention to ensure statutory compliance raises questions about the agency's internal processes. Was the delay in filling the post an oversight or a deliberate tactic? The test will be if the new member brings genuine judicial independence to PMLA cases.
