Special Judge CBI cases Bala Joyti after hearing both the sides observed that For purposes of framing of charge-sheet, cognizance in this case is taken when sanction was placed on record besides there is a notification on record in lieu of DSPE Act as after coming into force J&K re-organization Act 2019 now status of State of J&K has changed into U.T of J&K and Ladakh as vide Sec. 2 of this Act, CBI has got inherent jurisdiction in all the Union Territories to investigate the offence notified u/s 3 of DSPE Act besides both the Acts J&K P.C.Act Samvat 2006 and P.C.Act 1988 are notified by the Central Government in official Gazette. Therefore it cannot be said at this stage that CBI has no jurisdiction therefore the argument is negated. The arguments put forth herein by defence counsel are not tenable in eyes of law as after weighting entire material on record, it appears that there are sufficient grounds for proceeding against accused person as prima facie , offence u/s 7 P.C.Act prima facie is found against accused person.
