Supreme Court Allows Trial to Decide NSE Ex-CEO Ramkrishna's Public Servant Status in Corruption Case
The Supreme Court declined to quash the prosecution of former NSE CEO Chitra Ramkrishna in the co-location scam case, allowing the trial court to decide if she qualifies as a "public servant" under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Delhi High Court had earlier held that NSE performs a public duty, justifying prosecution. Ramkrishna challenged this, arguing NSE is a private entity and she did not hold public office. The court permitted her to raise these issues during trial, while upholding the prosecution sanction.
