Dhirajlal Chatrabhuj Ratnagrahi Vs. the State of Maharashtra

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-26-1992

1. A valid sanction order is the starting point for a prosecution on corruption charges. The Courts have been severe, and for good reason, on sanction orders that display non-application of mind, but in this case a unique situation has arisen where the prosecuting authority applied for fresh sanction on the ground that the first sanction was defective. The subsequent sanction order issued by the successor-in-office has been struck down by the trial Court on the ground that it was issued mechanically and the learned Judge proceeds to hold that the first sanction order, which was on record, was good enough to sustain the prosecution. Not only is this impermissible but it needs to be stated that the earlier order having been superseded that it cannot thereafter be resurrected by the prosecution's efforts to resuscitate it. 2. An often overlooked dimension relating to trap cases in corruption offences arises in this proceeding. That it is impermissible for a public servant to receive illeg...
