2000 (1) TMI 563 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court granted leave in a case where a charge sheet was filed against the respondent under the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. The High Court quashed the proceedings as the consent of the Central Government, required under the Act, was not properly obtained. The State's appeal was dismissed as the power to grant consent under the Act rests with the Central Government and cannot be further delegated.
