Section 5 of PMLA permits provisional attachment of property believed to be proceeds of crime, before trial. The attachment must be confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority under Section 8 within the statutory period, and can be contested at that stage.
Section 45 imposes twin conditions that the court must be satisfied of before granting bail. Courts have, in recent years, read these conditions alongside the right to a speedy trial, and prolonged incarceration without trial has been a ground for relief.
The Supreme Court has held that the ECIR is not equivalent to an FIR and need not be supplied to the accused, though the grounds of arrest must be communicated.
