Summary: K. Devassia v. State of Kerala, Crl.A. No. 625/2000 On March 29, 2006, the Supreme Court allowed K. Devassia's criminal appeal and acquitted him of all charges. The court found that the Secretary (Vigilance) who granted sanction for prosecution was not authorized to do so, as he only became authorized from April 23, 1994 onwards, while the sanction in this case was granted prior to that date. Devassia, who was on bail, was discharged from bail bond liability. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
