VIVEK BATRA vs U.O.I

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's petition challenging the sanction for prosecution under Section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that the investigation by the CBI revealed disproportionate assets amounting to Rs.1,27,38,353/- amassed by the appellant and his family, which were not commensurate with his known sources of income. The Court held that the sanction for prosecution was valid and justified based on the evidence presented, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
