Arun Kumar Aggarwal vs State Of M.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's quashing of the Special Judge's order was erroneous as it disregarded the necessity of sanction under Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 for prosecuting public servants. The Court emphasized that the allegations of conspiracy and financial loss under Section 13(1)(d) and Section 120-B IPC warranted further investigation and cognizance. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the order of the Special Judge, allowing the prosecution to proceed against the accused respondents.
