Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the High Court's order quashing the charge sheet against the Accused Officer under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court erred in finding no authorization for the registration of the FIR and that the informant could not be the investigating officer. The Court reinstated the charge sheet, emphasizing the validity of the investigation and the necessity of accountability for disproportionate assets.
