Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed review petitions concerning Writ Petition (Civil) No. 633 of 2005, which sought action against certain respondents under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court reiterated that review petitions are limited to errors apparent on the face of the record and that the inquiry into the allegations of disproportionate assets should not be dismissed due to political affiliations. The Court upheld its previous order directing the CBI to investigate the allegations, thereby affirming the necessity of accountability in public office.
