State Of Kerala vs Mohan Das

The Supreme Court dismissed the Review Petitions, stating that the prior refusal of sanction for prosecution by the Secretary (Transport) created a distinct situation that could not be revisited by another officer without proper authority. The Court emphasized that the earlier decision on sanction was conclusive and did not warrant reconsideration, thereby upholding the dismissal of the review applications. The Court also noted that the issue regarding Sub-section (3) of Section 19 remains open for future consideration.
