https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471194 Defects in prosecution sanction, including error, omission, irregularity or lack of competence of the sanctioning authority, do not vitiate criminal proceedings under Section 19(3) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 465 of the Code of Criminal Procedure unless they cause a failure of justice. This protection applies during ongoing proceedings; prosecution cannot be stayed or quashed mid-course merely because sanction is challenged. Allegations that sanction was granted mechanically or without considering relevant material ordinarily require evaluation after trial evidence is recorded. Interdiction of prosecution on sanction defects is therefore impermissible absent an established failure of justice. en-us Mon, 31 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:21:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471194 Defects in prosecution sanction, including error, omission, irregularity or lack of competence of the sanctioning authority, do not vitiate criminal proceedings under Section 19(3) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 465 of the Code of Criminal Procedure unless they cause a failure of justice.
