2026 INSC 304
📌 Paras 1-2
The complainant filed a complaint alleging that the appellants, police officials, murdered her husband at the instance of a superior officer. The Magistrate took cognizance and summoned the accused. A superior officer, Sankaran Moitra, had his proceedings quashed by this Court due to lack of sanction under Section 197 Cr.P.C., as he was a public servant removable only with government sanction. The Magistrate extended this benefit to the appellants. The High Court, however, allowed the complainant's revision, holding that the previous Supreme Court order was specific to Sankaran Moitra and did not apply to the appellants.
