Separate sanction orders were obtained under the Recommendation Rules, 2008, for prosecuting the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">K.S. Madhusoodhanan, counsel representing the petitioner, submitted that to prosecute the petitioner under Section 124A of Penal Code, 1860 sanction under Section 196 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 (CrPC) has to be obtained. In the present case, sanctions were obtained under Section 45(1) (ii) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. Further, under Recommendation Rules, 2008, the Investigation officer is required to submit the investigation report, after which the state authorities shall grant sanction to prosecute within 7 days. The same condition was not satisfied and the sanction order was delayed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Suresh Babu Thomas, the counsel for State contended that the delay was caused because the chairman of the authority was preoccupied with Puttingal Temple Enquiry Commission and mere failure of the State to follow the stipulations in the Act and Rules will not have any effect in the prosecution of the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Citing the case of <em>CBI<\/em><em> v.

Strict adherence to the time limit is to be followed by the sanctioning authority. Further, it was held by the court that the prosecution shall obtain sanction under Section 196 of the CrPC for prosecuting of petitioner for having committed an offence under Section 124A of the IPC.
