Bombay High Court grants leave to Sameer Wankhede to amend his plea seeking quashing of CBI FIR to include three additional grounds for quashing the FIR.
Grounds: 1. Under section 7 of amended corruption act, the giver of bribe is also to be prosecuted. CBI case is that Wankhede has “taken” bribe, so they ought to include the “giver” as an accused too.
2. Under section 17A of corruption act, the sanction obtained by NCB along with the complaint is not proper as they do not have authority.
3. Section 13 of corruption act makes “disproportionate assets” an offence. The allegations of CBI is that Wankhede had disproportionate assets but section 13 has not been levied against him.
