Vakil Prasad Singh vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash criminal proceedings against him for offences under Sections 161, 109, and 120B IPC, and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947. The Court noted that the appellant had previously quashed the cognizance order due to jurisdictional issues but found no merit in the current plea as the investigation was resumed. The Court emphasized the importance of timely investigations in corruption cases, ultimately affirming the High Court's decision.
