      Under Section 41 of PMLA, the jurisdiction of civil

      courts in relation to matters under the Act is:
      A Concurrent with the Adjudicating Authority Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Barred – no civil court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any suit or proceeding in respect of matters under PMLA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Limited to appeals against the Director's orders Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Available only for disputes exceeding Rs. 10 crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Available only for matters relating to immovable property Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 41 of PMLA explicitly provides that no civil court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any suit or proceeding in respect of any matter which the Director, an Adjudicating Authority, or the Appellate Tribunal is empowered by or under the Act to determine. Further, no injunction shall be granted by any court or other authority in respect of any action taken or to be taken in pursuance of any power conferred by or under the Act. This ouster of civil court jurisdiction ensures that challenges to PMLA proceedings go through the statutory hierarchy (Adjudicating Authority → Appellate Tribunal → High Court) rather than through civil suits. This is buttressed by Section 67 which bars suits in civil courts to set aside or modify any proceeding or order under PMLA.
