CW-2017-0005Alappuzha, KeralaJudgment 23 June 2017
Raghavan vs State Of Kerala
The judgment of the Kerala High Court records the following account. Former Sub-Inspector Raghavan of Vallikunnam Police Station was prosecuted for demanding and accepting Rs. 1,000 and a bottle of liquor from complainant [name withheld] to settle an assault case. The vigilance team trapped the accused at his residence and recovered the tainted currency and liquor bottle. The Kerala High Court confirmed his conviction under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, holding that demand and acceptance were proved beyond reasonable doubt. Taking into account the officer's age and the lapse of 15 years, the High Court reduced the sentence to the statutory minimum of one year simple imprisonment and fine. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
