Shehzada Khalid vs. State (Nct Of Delhi), (2020) 06 DEL CK 0068

PARA NO. 73

73. The learned Solicitor General has submitted that depending upon the facts of each case, it is for the investigating agency to confront the accused with the material, only when the accused is in custody. It was submitted that the statutory right under Section 19 of PMLA has an in-built safeguard against arbitrary exercise of power of arrest by the investigating officer. Submitting that custodial interrogation is a recognised mode of interrogation which is not only permissible but has been held to be more effective, the learned Solicitor General placed reliance upon State v. Anil Sharma (1997) 09 SC CK 0016; Sudhir v. State of Maharashtra (2015) 10 SC CK 0052; and Directorate of Enforcement v. Hassan Ali Khan (2011) 03 SC CK 0039.
