<h1>Section 217: Proceedings for State Offences Need Government Sanction; Inspector-Level Police Inquiry May Be Required.</h1> Section 217 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, outlines the conditions required for initiating proceedings for offences against the State and criminal conspiracy to commit such offences. Courts cannot take cognizance of certain offences, including those under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, without prior sanction from the Central or State Government. Additionally, for other specified offences, the District Magistrate's sanction may also be required. Preliminary investigations by a police officer of at least Inspector rank may be ordered before granting such sanctions, except where certain provisions apply, negating the need for consent.
