    Question

    Consider the following statements regarding Evidence

    Act applicability in PMLA proceedings: Statement 1: Hearsay evidence is admissible in PMLA proceedings under Section 24 of the Indian Evidence Act. Statement 2: Documentary evidence of transactions, though not signed by the accused, is admissible in PMLA proceedings to prove proceeds of crime. Statement 3: PMLA proceedings follow the ordinary criminal procedure and Evidence Act provisions strictly. Statement 4: Statements recorded under Section 24 of PMLA (reverse burden) may be used as evidence without full compliance with recording procedures. Which statements are correct?
    A Statements 1 and 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Statements 2 and 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Statements 1 and 4 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Statements 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Statements 1, 2, and 4 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement 2 is correct—documentary evidence proving transaction chains is admissible. Statement 1 is incorrect—hearsay has limited admissibility. Statement 3 is incorrect—PMLA has its own procedural framework separate from CPC. Statement 4 is incorrect—recording procedures must be followed. Statement 2 alone is clearly correct.
