Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the investigation conducted by the CID Telangana under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010, specifically Sections 409, 420, 477(A), and Section 37. The Court held that the CID was not authorized to investigate cases involving amounts exceeding one crore, thereby necessitating the involvement of the CBI as per the Ministry of Home Affairs notification. Consequently, the Court stayed the order of attachment of accounts concerning salary and institutional expenses, directing the petitioners to maintain proper accounts during the interim period.
