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."
