CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION vs RAVI SHANKAR SRIVASTAVA

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Rajasthan High Court's judgment quashing an FIR registered by the CBI under Sections 120B, 167, 168, 177A IPC and Sections 13(2), 13(1) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the CBI lacked jurisdiction due to the withdrawal of consent by the State Government for the application of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, thus affirming the High Court's decision. The Court clarified that individual notifications for officers are necessary for jurisdiction under the Act, and a general notification is insufficient.
