Section 13(1)(e) PCA | Second FIR for Disproportionate Assets Maintainable If Distinct Offence Alleged : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court holds that a second FIR under Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act is valid if it alleges a separate offence with distinct ingredients, even if arising from the same investigation. The ruling clarifies that discharge applications cannot succeed merely on the ground of a prior FIR, reinforcing the need for specific evidence in disproportionate assets cases against public servants.
