Under the PMLA, a further appeal from the Appellate Tribunal lies to the High Court within what period on a question of law?

Solution

Under Section 42 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, any person aggrieved by a decision or order of the Appellate Tribunal may file an appeal to the High Court within sixty days on any question of law or fact arising out of such order. The High Court may extend the period if satisfied of sufficient cause. This appeal to the High Court provides judicial oversight of the tribunal's decisions. It ensures that questions of law and fact arising under the Act can be authoritatively determined by the constitutional court.
