V.K. PURI vs CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

The Supreme Court addressed the territorial jurisdiction of Special Courts under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, specifically under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e). The Court held that jurisdiction is determined by where the public servant committed acts of misconduct, not merely the situs of the acquired properties. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the Delhi Court had jurisdiction despite the appellant's claims of not being posted in Delhi during the relevant period.
