Supreme Court: While considering this case wherein the Supreme Court while dealing with a suo moto action pertaining to Corbett Tiger Reserve, noted that its order on sanctioning prosecution of an officer was stayed by Uttaranchal High Court; the Division Bench of B.R. Gavai, CJI and K. Vinod Chandran, J., opined that the High Court is a Constitutional Court and not inferior to the Supreme Court. However, in the judicial matters, when Supreme Court is seized of the matter it is expected of the High Courts to keep their hands away.
The present suo motu action was regarding the illegal constructions and rampant felling of trees in the Corbett Tiger Reserve. Initially, the Uttaranchal High Court had directed that an investigation be carried out by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Accordingly, CBI had conducted the investigation, and an FIR also came to be filed. Parallelly, the departmental proceedings were also under progress.
When the matter was listed before Supreme Court on 08-09-2025, it was noticed that though the State Government had granted sanction in respect of the prosecution of all the officers except one, the Court had questioned the State as to why special treatment was given to one officer. Pursuant to the oral observations made on 08-09-2025, the sanction came to be granted on 16-09-2025. On the next date of hearing i.e. on 17-09-2025, the Court was informed that the State Government had granted sanction for prosecution against the said officer under Section 218 of the BNSS/Section 197 of the CrPC. The Court had also directed the Union of India to consider the proposal submitted by the Government of Uttarakhand for grant of sanction under Section 19 of the P.C. Act.
However, the said officer filed a writ petition before the High Court challenging the sanction order dated 16-09-2025. The High Court admitted the matter and granted stay on the operation and effect of the sanction order dated 16-9-2025.
The afore-stated development was brought to the notice of the Supreme Court in the present matter. The Supreme Court expressed its confusion on the approach of the officer and the High Court. The Court pointed out that when the officer was following the proceedings before the Supreme Court and was aware about the oral observations and the orders passed, then, nothing prevented him from intervening in these proceedings if he was of the view that any of the orders prejudiced him. “However, in the teeth of the sanction which was granted during the pendency of the proceedings before this Court, approaching the High Court to challenge an order virtually amounts to interference in the present proceedings”.
Therefore, the Court directed that proceedings related to the challenge on the sanction order, must be withdrawn from the High Court and transferred to the Supreme Court. The Court also stayed the High Court’s order on the sanction dated 16-9-2025.
