 "summary": "The Madras High Court allowed the State's appeal under Section 378 CrPC and set aside the 20 February 2014 acquittal by the Special Court for PC Act Cases, Chennai (C.C. 82/2011), convicting Assistant Commissioner of Police [name withheld] under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that while serving as ACP, Madurai, he held assets disproportionate to his known sources of income during the check period from 1 January 1991 to 31 December 2000, with acquired wealth of about Rs. 24.9 lakh against likely savings of about Rs. 13.5 lakh. It held the trial court had proceeded on a wrong presumption and that the unexplained excessive assets brought his misconduct within Section 13(1)(e). The accused was directed to appear on 19 April 2023 for hearing on sentence; the sentence order is not on record. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
