ABSTRACT
This case comment analyzes the Supreme Court’s judgment in Rana Ayyub vs. Directorate of Enforcement, focusing on the legal principles regarding territorial jurisdiction under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in case of multiple jurisdictions and the implications for fundamental rights. The Court’s decision to dismiss Ayyub’s writ petition raises significant questions about the interpretation of possession as sufficient for establishing jurisdiction and the right to a fair trial. By emphasizing procedural complexities, the judgment highlights the need for clarity in jurisdictional matters related to money laundering, ensuring that fundamental rights are upheld in legal proceedings.
