Death, Insolvency or Dissolution During PMLA Proceedings: Who Can Continue the Case and Protect the Property?

Death, insolvency or corporate dissolution does not produce one universal result under PMLA. Personal criminal liability, pending attachment, confiscation, appeals and succession to property follow different statutory tracks. Section 72 expressly allows legal representatives and specified insolvency representatives to file or continue PMLA property appeals after death or insolvency, while Section 8(7) authorises the Special Court to determine confiscation or release even where trial cannot be conducted because the accused has died. This guide examines the 2025 Andhra Pradesh High Court ruling
