SC Refers Yeddyurappa Corruption Case to Larger Bench

The Supreme Court on Monday referred a significant legal question to a larger bench. The issue revolves around whether a probe agency requires prior sanction under the Prevention of Corruption Act to prosecute a public servant after a magisterial court orders an inquiry.

This crucial matter arose from a case involving senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. The apex court deemed the legal question complex enough to warrant the attention of a larger bench.

The decision highlights the intricate legal framework surrounding corruption cases against public servants in India. The larger bench’s decision will set a precedent with far-reaching implications for future anti-corruption investigations. The outcome will significantly impact the prosecution of similar cases across the nation, potentially influencing the effectiveness of anti-corruption drives.
