Union Of India (Uoi) vs Prakash P. Hinduja And Anr.

The Supreme Court overturned the Delhi High Court's judgment that quashed the cognizance taken by the Special Judge in the Bofors case, emphasizing the necessity of following the procedure established in Vineet Narain v. Union of India. The Court held that the prosecution could file a fresh charge-sheet after proper review by the Central Vigilance Commission as mandated by Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The outcome reinstated the proceedings against the accused, including Prakash Hinduja, under Section 120-B IPC and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
