Sanction for Prosecution Under PCA | Investigating Agencies Lack Locus Standi to Challenge Refusal via Writ Petition: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that refusal to grant prosecution sanction under the Prevention of Corruption Act is a sovereign executive decision immune to writ challenges by investigating agencies. This clarifies that only the government, not law enforcement, holds discretionary authority - shielding prosecutorial decisions from procedural interference and reinforcing separation of powers in corruption cases.
