ARUN KUMAR AGGARWAL vs STATE OF M.P..

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the order of the Special Judge, which had rejected the closure report filed by the Lokayukta Police in a case involving allegations of conspiracy and corruption under Section 13(1)(d) and Section 120-B IPC. The Court emphasized that the necessary sanction for prosecution under Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was not obtained, thereby rendering the proceedings against the accused untenable. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
