No sanction required under BNSS to prosecute public servants for disproportionate assets, rules Madras High Court
Madras High Court ruled that a sanction under the BNSS is not required to prosecute public officials for assets disproportionate to known income sources. Justice V. Lakshminarayanan declined to release former DMK minister M.R.K. Panneerselvam and his relatives from the ongoing investigation. The court said BNSS does not require prior government sanction to proceed.
