Under the PMLA, an appeal against an order of the Adjudicating Authority lies to which body?

Solution

Under Section 26 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, any person aggrieved by an order of the Adjudicating Authority may prefer an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal. The Appellate Tribunal hears appeals against orders relating to attachment, confiscation and other matters under the Act. A further appeal on a question of law lies to the High Court. This appellate structure provides a mechanism for reviewing the decisions of the Adjudicating Authority and protecting the rights of affected persons.
