 "summary": "On 10 March 2014 the Gujarat High Court allowed the State appeal against acquittal and convicted a Gambhoi police-station writer for taking a bribe to weaken a criminal case against the complainant party. The court held that the Special Judge had wrongly doubted demand, finding that the accused unexplained presence at Ambika Hotel, the anthracene-marked fingertips and pocket, and recovery of the tainted Rs.900 proved demand and acceptance beyond reasonable doubt. It quashed the 1999 acquittal, convicted him under sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and imposed one year rigorous imprisonment with fine on each count to run concurrently. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
