Hence, there is no requirement of Magistrate to examine complainant on oath (as required under S. 200) before issuing direction under S. 156(3). [Supreme Bhiwandi Wada Manor Infrastructure (P) Ltd. v. State of Maharashtra, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Yt3712h5\">(2021) 8 SCC 753<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 \u2014 S. 197 \u2014 Previous sanction for prosecution of public servant: <\/strong>S. 197 CrPC seeks to protect officer from unnecessary harassment, who is accused of offence committed while acting or purporting to act in discharge of his official duties and, thus, prohibits court from taking cognizance of such offence except with previous sanction of competent authority. At the same time, such shield cannot protect corrupt officers and provisions must be construed in such manner as to advance cause of honesty, justice and good governance. Alleged indulgence of officers in cheating, fabrication of records or misappropriation cannot be said to be in discharge of their official duty. Yardstick to be adopted is to form prima facie view whether act or omission for which accused was charged had a reasonable connection with discharge of his duties. Real question, therefore, is whether act committed is directly concerned with official duty. [Indra Devi v.

(i) Employers in organised sector like industry; (ii) Employers in public sector undertakings including Boards and Corporations and other establishments which meet test of \u201cState\u201d within meaning of Art. 12 of the Constitution; and (iii) Central and State Governments proper as employers. As far as first category is concerned there are numerous complex factors, some of which are economic like financial status of employer, national economy, etc. while some spring from social philosophy which acknowledges that worker&#8217;s wage is force of collective bargaining under Labour laws and wage structure must be tested on anvil of social justice. In respect of establishments which meet parameters of being \u201cState\u201d within meaning of Art. 12 of the Constitution, reiterated that non-revision of pay scale does not violate fundamental rights guaranteed under Art. 21 of the Constitution since under Labour law workman is only entitled to minimum or fair wage and not periodic revision. Besides, economic viability is an important consideration while determining wage structure, and pay revision cannot be claimed when employer is making continuous losses. As far as Central and State Government as employers is concerned, financial and economic implications are very relevant and germane to any policy decision touching administration of Government.
