Citing delay, Orissa high court sets aside vig case against IAS officer
The Orissa High Court has dismissed a three-year-old vigilance case against senior IAS officer Bijay Ketan Upadhyaya. The court cited a flawed sanction process under the anti-corruption law, stating essential evidence was not presented to the sanctioning authority. This procedural infirmity undermined the prosecution's legal foundation, leading to the quashing of the case.
