Interim Orders
Case Summary: The Enforcement Directorate's application (Exh.17) in PMLA Case No.14 of 2024 is allowed. The court permitted ED officers to visit accused Shailesh Babulal Bhatt at Sabarmati Jail on 14/06/2025 to obtain his PIN, password, and biometric data (fingerprint/face recognition) to access a crypto wallet ("Trust Wallet") on a seized mobile phone believed to contain proceeds of crime. The court rejected the accused's self-incrimination defense, finding the access necessary for investigation, and mandated the procedure be conducted transparently with independent government witnesses, video recording, and detailed documentation to safeguard against misuse of recovered cryptocurrency assets.
