Union of India, 1998 (1) SCC 226. The Court held that the CBI's charge sheet under Section 120-B IPC and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 was valid, and the investigation into the alleged bribery must continue. The outcome reinstated the proceedings against the accused, allowing the prosecution to proceed with the case.
