The State Of Mizoram vs Dr. C. Sangnghina

The Supreme Court held that the second charge sheet filed under Section 13(1)(c)(d)(e) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, was barred by the principle of double jeopardy as the accused had already been discharged due to lack of proper sanction. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the fresh sanction did not allow for reopening the case, and the revision petition was also dismissed due to limitation issues. The Court emphasized that the principles of double jeopardy protect individuals from being tried for the same offense after acquittal or discharge.
