CW-2013-0038West Delhi, DelhiJudgment 27 November 2013

Delhi Police Sub-Inspector vs C.B.I.

The Delhi High Court (Siddharth Mridul, J.) on 27 November 2013 dismissed the appeal of Delhi Police Sub-Inspector against his 2003 conviction for demanding and accepting a Rs. 5,000 bribe from property dealer a New Delhi man to dispose of a complaint against him. The court found that a CBI trap laid on 26 July 1995 caught the appellant arriving in a Sub-Inspector's uniform and that the tainted money was recovered from his co-accused. It held demand and acceptance proved, raised the presumption under Section 20 of the PC Act which the appellant failed to rebut, and sustained the sentence of four years' rigorous imprisonment with fine. The court cancelled his bail bond and ordered him to be taken into custody forthwith. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
