The sanction for the offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 has been refused by the competent authority and hence no proceedings could be initiated for the offence under Section 13 of the PC Act. It has been further submitted that undertaking has been taken from the petitioners that if the said document is found to be registrable, the same shall be got registered after payment of necessary duty, therefore, the interest of the Government has been secured.
