It is a Kerala case of 2002 as I recall. The ratio of the SC's judgement was that prosecution is only required in cases where the public servant was doing his job, and that permission was not needed where his action was something which was not his job.
"That there are numerous provisions in law such as section 409 IPC to discipline these buggers, and the Supreme Court has passed a very helpful Judgement dispensing with the requirement to seek Governmental permission before prosecuting Govt officials in most cases." http://www.geocities.com/india_pil/sarbajit.htm --- In [email protected], LESLIE ALMEIDA <lesals2...@...> wrote: > > Supreme Court has ruled that citizen can prosecute bureaucrat without > governmentâs prior permission as per IPC section 197 does anyone have the > copy of SC judgement, as i am also desperately trying hard to get same >  > L.AlmeidaÂ
