 "summary": "The Madras High Court (Justice S. M. Subramaniam) dismissed the writ petition of retired Special Sub-Inspector K. Kumaradoss, upholding the major penalty of pay reduction by three stages for three years with cumulative effect for receiving mamool of Rs 50 twice a week from a bunk-shop owner near a TASMAC shop. The Court held the departmental enquiry's finding of proved corruption charges suffered no perversity and the punishment was not disproportionate. It directed registration of criminal cases wherever mamool receipt by police officials is traced. The appeal and review against the penalty had already failed.",
