    "content": "The Bill also gives the right to representation at whatever level. Some Senators were of the view that the process should start from the magistrate’s court. Others were of the view that if it starts from the magistrate’s court, any person can go to a magistrate’s court quickly, get an order and charge people. I think that, that also needs a right legal mind like that of the professor who is sitting as the Deputy Speaker today. We need to review that because some think that it should start at the High Court, while others think that it should start from the magistrate’s court. Those who did not want it to start from the magistrate’s court said that it is very easy to get the accounts closure and all that. Therefore, when we put the threshold higher, then they are likely to demand for more evidence before they allow a search, seizure of account, or any other thing. Our legal minds can help us in that. Some were of the view that we should create specialized courts to hear these cases because they are unique in their nature. There were so many contributions to this Bill. That is why you are seeing me looking for more information."
