Learned APP for the State submits that this Criminal application be converted into Criminal Revision as the State has challenged the order of the learned Special Judge passed under Section 227 of the Criminal Procedure Code. As per the request of learned prosecutor, this criminal application is converted in to Criminal revision and heard. 3. The accused is prosecuted for the offence punishable under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The application for discharge was allowed only on the ground of absence of valid sanction required under Section 19 of the said Act. The Learned Special Judge has rightly held that the sanction given by the Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad, Sangli was not free sanction but was under pressure and hence, it vitiates the Trial. The order passed by the learned Special Judge is correct and no interference is required. Application for leave to appeal stands rejected. (MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.)
