https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175394 Section 6A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act was treated as operative and mandatory for inquiry or investigation against a protected Central Government officer, requiring prior Central Government approval before the CBI could proceed. The Court held that registration of the case, laying of the trap and continuation of the investigation without such approval contravened section 6A(1), and section 6A(2) did not justify a pre-planned trap after investigation had begun. Although an illegal investigation does not automatically nullify a later trial, the defect was raised at an early stage, so the proper course was reinvestigation rather than continuation of the tainted proceedings. en-us Thu, 05 Oct 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:38:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175394 Section 6A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act was treated as operative and mandatory for inquiry or investigation against a protected Central Government officer, requiring prior Central Government approval before the CBI could proceed.
