CW-2018-0026Chitradurga, KarnatakaJudgment 3 August 2018
Hiriyur Police Circle Inspector of Police vs The State of Karnataka (by Lokayukta Police, Chitradurga)
The judgment of the Karnataka High Court records the following account. Minerals trader [name withheld] complained that Circle Inspector demanded Rs.1,00,000 as bribe for non-interference in his mines business, and the officer was caught red-handed in a Lokayukta trap. The Special Court at Chitradurga convicted him under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with 13(2) of the PC Act, sentencing him to 3 and 5 years' simple imprisonment with fines. The Karnataka High Court held the demand and acceptance proved beyond reasonable doubt, rejected the jurisdictional objection to the Bengaluru Lokayukta police, and confirmed the conviction. The court reduced the sentence on health grounds to 1 year plus Rs.15,000 fine (s.7) and 2 years plus Rs.75,000 fine (s.13), concurrent.
