 "summary": "The Special Judge (Vigilance), South Bihar, Patna convicted ASI on 4 September 1993 for accepting Rs 500 gratification on 9 December 1977 to refrain from arresting the complainant, holding the charges under IPC Sec 161 and PC Act 1947 Sec 5(2) r/w 5(1)(d) proved beyond reasonable doubt. The Patna High Court (Kishore K. Mandal, J.) on 30 March 2009 dismissed his appeal, relying on an independent witness (school principal PW-1) to the trap, search and seizure, but reduced the sentence to 3 months RI per count with Rs 2,000 fine given the 32-year pendency and his superannuation. The conviction itself was upheld.",
 "court_quote": "The trial court on appraisal of the evidence brought on record found and held that the charge(s) so framed against the appellant stood proved beyond reasonable doubts and accordingly he was convicted under Section 161 of the Penal Code and Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1)(d) of the P.C. Act, 1947.",
