Dilawar Singh vs Parvinder Singh @ Iqbal Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of prosecution under Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, holding that prior sanction under Section 19 is mandatory for summoning an accused. The Court clarified that since cognizance had already been taken against ASI Jasbir Singh, no fresh sanction was necessary for the appellant Dilawar Singh. The Court upheld the High Court's order to summon Dilawar Singh, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory requirements in corruption cases.
