The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision to not conduct the trial and reset a law that states that tribunals are not allowed to conduct a "trial miniature" in discharging or quashing. It emphasized that delays in sanction or typographical errors would not automatically make the proceedings null and void. The Court made it clear that Section 482 CrPC cannot be used to circumvent statutory restrictions such as Section 397(3) CrPC. In the discharge stage, the focus is on whether the allegations made disclose a legitimate charge; not on proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt. In the trial stage, whether the permission given by anti-corruption laws is truly lawful must be determined. Unless there is a clear legal bar, that is.
