 "summary": "The Supreme Court confirmed the conviction of Sub-Inspector, officer-in-charge of Pulgaon police station, for obtaining illegal gratification of Rs.500 from complainant [name withheld], who had come to report his wife's disappearance and was detained until he paid. The Court held that both the trial court and the High Court had rightly found the case proved beyond reasonable doubt through corroborated trap evidence. It reduced the one year's rigorous imprisonment to the period already undergone but maintained the Rs.1,000 fine with the default clause. The trial court's acquittal under Section 161 IPC was left undisturbed. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
