|Madhya Pradesh High Court
Administrative lapses in teacher recruitment do not attract liability under Section 13(1)(d) PC Act | Recruitment case : MP HC
The Madhya Pradesh High Court acquitted several officials, ruling that mere administrative irregularities in a teacher recruitment process cannot satisfy the ‘dishonest or fraudulent intention’ element of Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The decision narrows the Act’s reach, protecting officials from prosecution where only procedural lapses occur.
