https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=448415 Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was considered in relation to prior approval for enquiry or investigation against a public servant for acts linked to official decisions. One opinion treated the approval requirement as applying when the enquiry or investigation commenced and held that proceedings under the Prevention of Corruption Act could not continue without prior approval, though the remand order remained valid because IPC offences also survived. The other opinion treated Section 17A as a prospective substantive provision and held that absence of approval did not warrant quashing the FIR or invalidating the remand order where allied IPC offences remained. The Bench remained divided and referred the matter to a Larger Bench. en-us Tue, 16 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 19 Jan 2024 08:46:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=448415 Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was considered in relation to prior approval for enquiry or investigation against a public servant for acts linked to official decisions.
