Common questions
Why is my case at Rouse Avenue and not my local district court?
Because it falls into a category assigned to a special court — typically a CBI or Enforcement Directorate investigation, a money laundering proceeding, or a case involving a sitting or former legislator. These are heard centrally rather than in the territorial district court.
Is bail harder in PMLA matters?
Money laundering cases carry statutory conditions on bail that are more demanding than in ordinary offences, which is why these matters are typically argued by counsel who work in this area regularly.
