Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the framing of charges against the appellant under Sections 7 and 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, rejecting the appellant's argument that he could not be prosecuted due to prior disciplinary action under the Border Security Force Act, 1968. The Court clarified that the 'Severe Displeasure' was merely a recommendation and not a formal punishment, thus allowing the CBI to proceed with the charges. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the quashing petition, allowing the prosecution to continue.
