CBI Doesn't Need State Govt's Consent To Register FIR Under Central Law Against Central Govt Employee Posted In That State : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) does not require the consent of state governments to register FIRs under central laws against central government employees, even if the employee is posted in that state. The case arose from a dispute where the state government had denied permission for the CBI to investigate. The court clarified that central laws supersede state jurisdiction when it comes to cases involving central employees, emphasizing that the CBI's investigative powers are not hindered by the consent requirement of state authorities. The ruling strengthens the independence of the CBI in handling corruption and criminal cases involving central government employees.
