STATE, CBI vs SASHI BALASUBRAMNIAN

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the Kar Vivad Samadhan Scheme, 1998 under the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1998, specifically regarding the immunity from prosecution for public servants. The Court held that the High Court erred in granting immunity to the official respondents based on the Scheme, clarifying that public servants are not entitled to such relief. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that had previously granted immunity to the officials involved in the case.
