Trial-court conviction (Special Judge, Vigilance, Ranchi; Special Court (ACB)). Convicted 20 September 2003. Appeal status: Appeal pending.

## Summary

The Jharkhand High Court records that \[name withheld\], a police inspector posted at Chakradharpur, demanded Rs.5,000 bribe from a P.H.\[name withheld\] (after earlier taking Rs.10,000), was caught in a Vigilance trap on 26.02.1991, and was convicted by the Special Judge, Vigilance, Ranchi on 20.09.2003 in Special Case No.7 of 1991. His separate appeal (Cr. Appeal (SJ) No.1421 of 2003) was still pending when the co-convicts' appeal was allowed in 2022; his conviction therefore stands as the trial court's finding.
