Vasanti Dubey vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court examined the powers of a Special Judge under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, regarding the acceptance of closure reports submitted by the police under Section 173 Cr.P.C. The Court held that a Special Judge cannot direct the police to submit a charge-sheet if the closure report is accepted, especially in cases lacking sanction for prosecution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the Special Judge's order did not suffer from jurisdictional error.
