Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's rejection of a writ petition to quash an FIR filed by the CBI against the appellant, an IAS officer. The court held that the investigation by the CBI was valid despite the appellant's claim of needing prior consent from the State for such an investigation. The court emphasized the importance of accountability for public officials and upheld the legality of the FIR under the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act.
