Hyderabad Police Traffic police vs State of Andhra Pradesh
The judgment of the Supreme Court of India records the following account. On 4 January 1994 the two traffic policemen stopped lorry driver [name withheld]. A Hyderabad man at Santoshnagar crossroads, Hyderabad, on the pretext of a no-entry violation, seized his vehicle documents and demanded Rs. 100 to return them without booking a case. An ACB trap caught the co-accused accepting the marked Rs. 100 inside Yakutpura Traffic Police Station in the appellant's presence.
