1 - 7 of 7 (2.90 seconds)R.K.Anand vs Registrar,Delhi High Court on 29 July, 2009
13. Unlike U.S. and certain other countries where a sting operation is recognized as a legal method of law enforcement, though in a limited manner as will be noticed hereinafter, the same is not the position in India which makes the issues arising in the present case somewhat unique.

Union Of India & Ors vs R.P.Singh on 22 May, 2014
In this regard, reliance has been placed on the decision of the Supreme Court in Union of India and others Vs. R.P. Singh3.

Rajat Prasad vs C.B.I on 24 April, 2014
In a later decision in Rajat Prasad Vs. C.B.I.5, where one Dalip Singh Ju Dev, the then Union Minister of State for Environment and Forest, was seen receiving illegal gratification in a sting operation, the Supreme Court expressed doubts in accepting the ratio of the judgment in R.K. Anand as an approval of sting operation as acceptable principle of law enforcement valid in all cases.
