Officials engaged in corrupt practices prior to repeal of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947 can be prosecuted under the repealed Act, even if the FIR was registered, subsequent to the repeal of the enactment, the Supreme Court has ruled.
A bench of justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai said repeal of the 1947 Act does not in any manner preclude the investigating agencies to probe offences committed prior to repeal of the Act.
