Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The HC dismissed the petition seeking quashing of the summoning order against the petitioner, a former Deputy Director (Investigation), holding that refusal of sanction under Section 19 of the PC Act does not bar prosecution under IPC offenses independently established. The Court distinguished between sanction requirements under Section 19 of the PC Act and Section 197 of the Cr.P.C., noting the latter applies only where alleged acts are connected with official duty. The petitioner's alleged offenses-embezzlement, cheating, forgery, falsification of digital records, and destruction of evidence-were found to be distinct from official duties and thus did not attract the protection of Section 197 Cr.P.C. The Court upheld the validity of the summoning order, relying on prima facie evidence including forensic reports, and affirmed that prosecution under IPC could proceed notwithstanding refusal of sanction under the PC Act. The petition was accordingly dismissed.
