Re: Sanction by Govt for prosecution of Central Govt. Employee under IPC 498A &
Under section 197 of Cr. P. C. sanction of the government is required to be obtained for prosecuting public servant accused of any offence alleged to have been committed by him while acting or purporting to act in discharge of his official duty. Prosecution in section 498 A or under the provisions of dowery prohibition act, doesnot constitute to be an offence alleged to have been committed by him while acting or purporting to act in discharge of an official duty. Hence no such sanction is required. I hope this satisfies your query.
