 "summary": "The Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Thiruvananthapuram convicted ASI (Grade) [name withheld] of Chavara police station in CC No.27/2010 on 31-10-2014 for demanding Rs 2,000 from complainant, a Kollam man, on 21-04-2009 and accepting it on 24-04-2009, sentencing him to two years' RI under each PC Act count. The Kerala High Court (Justice A. Badharudeen, Crl.A. No.1229/2014, decided 06-03-2026, 2026:KER:20489) held demand and acceptance proved through the trap witnesses and confirmed the conviction, interfering only to reduce the sentence to the statutory minimum in the interest of justice. The appeal was thus allowed in part with the guilty finding intact.",
