Case Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Punjab's appeal against the quashing of proceedings against Santokh Singh under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 and Arms Act, 1959. Though Punjab argued the sanction requirement was introduced in 1993 (after the 1989 occurrence), the Court upheld the lower court's decision, finding that the seized pistol and cartridges were not sealed on the spot, raising tamper concerns. The Court held that improper search and seizure rendered the sanction question academic. Decision dated August 28, 2019.
