PARMANAND DASS vs STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that there is no legal bar to the sanctioning authority revising its opinion before the sanction order is presented to the Court. The Court found that the validity of the sanction under the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, as amended by Act II of 1970, was not upheld since the special officer did not issue the sanction as required. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the previous sanction was deemed invalid, leading to the dismissal of the High Court's ruling.
