M KRISHNA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to not quash the FIR against the appellant under Section 13(1)(e) and Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, despite the appellant's argument that the allegations pertained to a previously investigated period. The Court established that the new FIR contained fresh allegations regarding assets acquired during a different check period, thus justifying the continuation of the investigation. The Court affirmed that the Investigating Agency acted within its rights to file a fresh report based on new materials, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
