The State Of Punjab vs Hari Kesh

The Supreme Court reviewed a decision by the Punjab and Haryana High Court that quashed a sanction order related to corruption charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The High Court's order was challenged on the grounds that the trial was already underway with witnesses examined. The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of the sanctioning authority's role in corruption cases and reinstated the proceedings, highlighting the need for proper sanction before trial. The judgment underscores the procedural requirement of sanction in cases under anti-corruption laws and the Court's authority to ensure fair legal process.
