The Supreme Court addressed two pivotal legal questions regarding the sanction for prosecution of a public servant under the Prevention of Corruption Act. It ruled that consulting the Central Vigilance Commission does not render the sanction order illegal, and clarified that the three-month period for the Appointing Authority to decide on the sanction request is not mandatory. Consequently, the court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the State's revision petition against the discharge of the appellant.
