51 MPs, 71 MLAs face money laundering cases

The Supreme Court has been informed that 51 former and current lawmakers are accused of violating the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The study, however, omits to state how many of the 51 are current and former parliamentarians (MPs). In response to a petition for a speedy trial submitted by lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, the Supreme Court has appointed Vijay Hansaria as an amicus curiae in the cases against elected politicians. Following a thorough investigation, 121 current and former parliamentarians are the targets of CBI cases. The people's representatives are the target of several criminal investigations. It has been pending for more than five years, according to Vijay Hansaria. It has been suggested that orders be issued to only take up more cases after the lesser courts have heard them. Details of criminal cases involving elected representatives that have been pending for five years or more should be disclosed in this context. All high courts have been instructed by the Supreme Court.
