Nand Kishore vs State of Rajasthan

The Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court maintained the conviction of Head Constable Nand Kishore of the Kota Traffic Police under Section 161 IPC and Sections 5(1)(d) read with 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, for demanding and accepting a Rs. 10 bribe from an auto-rickshaw driver in March 1983. Affirming the findings of the Special Judge, Anti Corruption Cases, Kota, the High Court held the conviction intact but set aside the substantive sentence of one year rigorous imprisonment in view of the appellant being 72 years old and enduring 41 years of criminal proceedings for a petty bribe. The Court substituted the custodial term with an enhanced fine of Rs. 2,000 on each count. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
