State (ACB trap 07-10-1997) vs Rajasthan Police Head Constable
Head Constable (Alwar), trapped on 7 October 1997, was convicted by the trial court under PC Act ss.13(1)(d)/13(2) and sentenced to 2 years' RI with Rs.5,000 fine; the conviction pre-dates Criminal Appeal No.240/2001 in which his sentence was suspended, so the verdict falls around 2000-2001. After cycles of suspension and reinstatement, SP Alwar removed him from service on 8 March 2010 on the ground of conviction; the Single Bench dismissed his writ (SB CWP 4125/2010, 19-04-2010) and the Division Bench (Acting CJ Arun Mishra & Dalip Singh, J.) heard the intra-court appeal on 22-11-2010.
