CW-1999-0014Sangli, MaharashtraJudgment 17 December 1999
Jath Police Police Head Constable vs State of Maharashtra
The Bombay High Court confirmed the conviction of Police Head Constable of Jath Police Station, Sangli, for demanding and accepting Rs 790 in illegal gratification from six vehicle owners to release seized vehicles without prosecution and for hushing up Motor Vehicles Act cases. The Court held the evidence of the vehicle owners, PW-2 Constable, the duty-book register and checking-report counterfoils proved the charges, and rejected the defences on investigation by an officer below DySP rank and unproved station-house duties. The Court set aside the one-year rigorous imprisonment on each count but enhanced the fine from Rs 500 to Rs 2,000 on each count, with the default sentence retained.
