Proposed amendment in PC Act for sanction for prosecution – confusion and contradictions

Corruption

Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, requires sanction for prosecution of a public servant for offences under the said Act. As per the existing provisions under Section 19, sanction for prosecution is needed only if the public servant is still in service at the time of filing of the chargesheet; and, no such sanction under this section is needed if the public servant has retired or ceases to be in service at the time of filing of the chargesheet (in fact, at the stage of taking cognizance by court). On the other hand, sanction needed under Section 197 of the Cr.P.C. for prosecution of a public servant (to whomsoever this provision is applicable) is required irrespective of whether the public servant continues to be in service or has retired or has ceased to be in service at the time of filing of the chargesheet. Now, an amendment has been proposed to amend Section 19 of the PC Act to require sanction for prosecution under that section even when a public servant has retired or has ceased to be in service at the time of filing of the chargesheet. However, this amendment would not be applicable to all categories of public servants. This proposed amendment is not in line (at least, in its “intent”) with what has been provided under the recently enacted Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013. It creates confusion and contradictions.
