The Delhi High Court dismissed Woman Constable's writ and upheld her dismissal for corruption caught in a TV sting. Posted as DD Writer at PS New Ashok Nagar, she demanded Rs 200 and accepted Rs 150 from decoy \[name withheld\] to register an NCR for a lost phone on 6 September 2005; the concealed-camera footage was telecast on Star News' Sansani programme. A joint departmental enquiry with Duty Officer HC relied on the video-CD plus duty records and departmental witnesses to hold her guilty. The Court held the sting video was cogent material, non-examination of the decoy not fatal, and concurrent findings of four fora neither perverse nor arbitrary. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> This chain of concurrent factual determinations, based on oral, documentary and electronic material disclosed to the Petitioner, does not convince this Court that it is a case of no evidence or there has been a violation of natural justice.
