CW-1974-0001Bathinda, PunjabJudgment 5 March 1974
Gian Singh v. State of Punjab
The Supreme Court dismissed the special-leave appeal of ASI Gian Singh, then Station House Officer of Police Station Raman, upholding his conviction under Section 5(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947. The Court recorded that on 24 May 1968 he recorded a Raman man's complaint but did not arrest the available accused, and through Sarpanch Chand Singh demanded a bribe scaled from Rs. 150 to Rs. 100 for effecting arrest, with ten Rs. 10 notes from the victim's mother [name withheld] used as speed money in a trap laid with the DSP. It refused to re-weigh evidence under Article 136, holding police trap witnesses are not discreditable merely for being police. The sentence of two years' rigorous imprisonment with a Rs. 500 fine stands, and the accused was directed to surrender if on bail. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
