The provision was read consistently with the settled principle that the investigating officer need not personally perform every step if subordinate assistance is limited to aid and the authorised officer stays in charge. On that basis, the order refusing permission for such assistance was set aside, and subordinate assistance within the statutory framework was affirmed as permissible. en-us Wed, 11 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 04:51:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=411200 Section 17 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 permits an officer of the requisite rank to investigate offences under the Act while taking assistance from a Sub-Inspector, provided the authorised Investigating Officer remains in direct supervision, control, and responsibility for the investigation.
