Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the State of Gujarat against the Gujarat High Court's judgment, particularly criticizing certain directions regarding the timeline for obtaining sanction and filing chargesheets in corruption cases. The Court found the High Court's directive to be unwarranted and harsh, leading to its expungement while upholding the remainder of the judgment. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings but modifying the specific contentious directions.
