HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Revision No. 183 of 2025 19th May, 2025 Parvinder Singh ……….Revisionist Versus Directorate of Enforcement (ED) ………….Respondent ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Presence:- Mr. Arvind Vashistha, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Mr. Ayush Kaushik, Advocate for the revisionist. Mr. Zoheb Hussain and Ms. Monika Pant, Advocates for the respondent-Directorate of Enforcement, through video conferencing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon'ble Pankaj Purohit, J. By means of the present criminal revision, the revisionist has put to challenge the order dated 22.03.2025, passed by learned Special Sessions Judge (P.M.L.A.), Dehradun in Special Sessions Trial No.28 of 2024, Enforcement Directorate Vs. Parvinder Singh, whereby learned Judge directed for framing of the charges against the revisionist. 2. It is contended by learned Senior Advocate for the revisionist that the trial court did not consider the arguments raised on behalf of the revisionist and only taking support from the order dated 22.03.2025 whereby the Application No.37-B has been rejected, the impugned order has been passed for framing of the charges, after hearing the parties. 3. It is further contended by learned Senior Advocate for the revisionist that the order appears to be 1 cryptic and from the order it is not clear as to exactly what is the material available with the Enforcement Directorate against the revisionist for framing of charges. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the Enforcement Directorate submitted that the order for framing of the charges need not to be an elaborate one, therefore, there is no illegality in the order. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the order impugned available on record; from the order it is apparent that the order is cryptic and it nowhere makes clear as to what material is available with the Enforcement Directorate against the revisionist for framing of the charges. 6. In this view of the matter the order dated 22.03.2025 is hereby quashed, to the extent of framing of the charges, the matter is remanded back to the learned Special Sessions Judge, Dehradun to rehear the parties on framing of the charges and to pass an order afresh in view of the observation made in this order. Criminal revision is accordingly partly allowed. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 19.05.2025 SK 2
