Supreme Court PMLA Order Has Major Flaws, Issue Deserved More Serious Consideration—Justice Lokur https://youtu.be/PpY6QG-_pV8?t=80  Aug 1, 2022 Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int...
In a wide-ranging interview, one of the most illustrious former judges of the Supreme Court has said he is “disappointed” that the Supreme Court did not give “more serious consideration” to many of the amendments of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act which it has recently upheld. Justice Madan Lokur says these amendments should have been looked at in a larger context by a larger bench. He said perhaps they could have been referred to a 7-judge bench. In the interview Justice Lokur made clear he has serious reservations with the Court’s judgement thus suggesting it has major flaws. Speaking generally about the Supreme Court, he said “it seems to be accepting what the executive wants it to accept”. The impression has been created “the Court is partial to the government”.

Why Is Fact-Checker M Zubair's Bail Order Significant? Justice Madan Lokur Says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUIOM5fZLT0  Jul 27, 2022 The bail order of fact-checker Mohammed Zubair is very important, but in a sense, it is a reiteration of what has already been said, former Supreme Court judge, Justice Madan Lokur (retd) said. "What I think is very important is the fact that the Supreme Court has said that you (the government) have to explain why continued detention or custody is necessary. The other important thing is that the court said that investigation has to take place first and later arrest should be made," he said.
