CW-2012-0001Bengaluru Urban, KarnatakaJudgment 1 February 2012
S. B. Muniyappa vs The State of Karnataka
The judgment of the Karnataka High Court records the following account. The appellant, S.B. Muniyappa, serving as Police Sub-Inspector at Vivek Nagar Police Station in Bengaluru, demanded a bribe of Rs 1,50,000 and accepted Rs 25,000 from the complainant to settle a cheque bounce dispute without registering a criminal case. Following a trap and investigation, the Special Court convicted him under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Karnataka High Court dismissed his appeal against conviction, holding that demand and acceptance of illegal gratification were proven beyond reasonable doubt, while modifying the sentence under Section 13(1)(d) to one year rigorous imprisonment to run concurrently with the sentence under Section 7.
