    Case Summary: WP/1705/2023 An anti-corruption activist petitioned to quash the Speaker's April 2022 communication refusing to grant sanction for prosecuting legislative members under the Prevention of Corruption Act, claiming the Speaker is not their "appointing authority." The court held that while formal sanction cannot be technically given for elected representatives, the Speaker must grant "permission" before charge-sheet filing under P.V. Narasimha Rao precedent. The court set aside the refusal, directing the Speaker to reconsider the sanction request in accordance with law.
