The SC overturned the High Court's quashing of criminal proceedings against a public servant for possessing disproportionate assets. The Court ruled that the High Court improperly exercised inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. after discharge applications had already been dismissed. The Court determined that questions regarding the validity of prosecution sanction should be examined during trial rather than in pre-trial proceedings. The SC emphasized that the High Court erroneously revisited earlier decisions without any material change in circumstances and incorrectly assessed evidentiary matters that should be determined at trial. The typographical error in the sanction order was not sufficient grounds for quashing. The appeal was allowed and the case was restored to the Trial Court.
