Prosecution After Penalty Deleted Cannot Continue – Shiv Kumar Jaiswal v. State of UP (Allahabad HC)
Shiv Kumar Jaiswal v. State of U.P. examines whether criminal prosecution can continue when the underlying penalty order has already been deleted. The Allahabad High Court considered the effect of the deletion of the penalty on the foundation of the prosecution proceedings and addressed whether such prosecution could survive once the corresponding penalty no longer remained in force.
