The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court records the following account. Sub-Inspector of Tiryani police station, Adilabad district, faced a departmental enquiry on the charge of misusing his position by collecting Rs 6,500 from villagers of Burudagudem to favour accused in Crime No. 2 of 1995. The Inspector General of Police, Warangal Range imposed compulsory retirement in August 2001, affirmed in departmental appeal and revision, and the AP Administrative Tribunal refused to interfere. The Division Bench found the enquiry evidence, including the middleman who collected and passed the bribe to the SI, proved the charge, drawing support from the three-day detention followed by release of the accused. It held the Tribunal committed no error in refusing to interfere with the punishment, and dismissed the writ petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> In our opinion, the allegation levelled against the petitioner that he misused his official position in collecting Rs. 6,500/- from the villagers for releasing the accused persons has rightly been treated as proved because the money has, in fact, been collected by his agents and absence of direct evidence regarding collecting of money by himself is not sufficient to absolve him of the charge.
