Karanit Singh vs State Rep By on 29 June, 2011
In AIR 1979 SC 677 (Mohd.Iqbal Ahmed vs State of Andhra Pradesh),cited supra, the supreme court has held that this should be done in two ways. Either by producing the original sanction which itself contains the facts constituting the offence and the grounds of satisfaction or by adducing evidence aliunde to show that the facts have been placed before the sanctioning authority and satisfaction is arrived at by the authority. The Apex court has also further held that it is well settled that any case instituted without a proper sanction must fail, because, this being a manifest defect in the prosecutiion, the entire proceedings are rendered void ab initio.
