We must hold that in this case a sanction is necessary and the offence cannot be tried in the absence of a sanction from the Court which tried Shelke and before which the evidence, which is now said to have been fabricated, was adduced.

That has been the case here and this case falls within the line of the decision of this Court in In Re: Khanderao Yeshwant, . Following it we must hold that the trial is void in the absence of a sanction.
