AZB & Partners has been representing Vivo Mobile India Private Limited (Vivo) and its employees in an investigation initiated by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA). The Firm has been successful in securing the release of two senior employees of Vivo arrested by the ED after the court already took cognizance of a prosecution complaint. The Learned Judge, Patiala House Court has held the arrest of these employees to be illegal and ordered their immediate release. The judgment stands as a testament to the important protection granted under Article 22(2) of the Indian Constitution and reinforces the basic protection of being produced before an appropriate court within 24 hours of the arrest.
