 "summary": "Per the AP High Court judgment of 08-12-1997, Detective Sub-Inspector of Shamshabad police station (Rangareddy district) was convicted by the Additional Special Judge for SPE & ACB Cases, Hyderabad for demanding Rs.500 as bribe (September–October 1989) from a workshop owner as the price of not foisting a stolen-property (electric motors) criminal case on him; the complainant had already handed over two old electric motors on 03-10-1989 before reporting to the ACB DSP. The trial court imposed one year's RI plus Rs.1,000 fine on each count under PC Act ss.7, 11 and 13(1)(d) r/w 13(2), concurrent; the High Court found no cause to interfere, dismissed the appeal and upheld the conviction.",
