Senior Advocate Indira Jaising informed the court about the LIC issue relating to money bills. The court said that it would list it.
A seven-judge constitution bench will hear the matter. In 2022, a three-judge bench of the top court upheld the validity of various provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), which empowers the ED to make arrests, conduct searches and seizures and attach proceeds of crime.

The top court’s July 27, 2022, order copy said that it has not examined the question as to whether some of the amendments to the Prevention of Money- Laundering Act, 2002 could not have been enacted by the Parliament by way of a Finance Act and left it open for being examined along with or after the decision of the larger bench.
