Hukkeri Police Police Constable (Buckle No. 507) vs State of Karnataka
The judgment of the Karnataka High Court records the following account. Police Constable (Buckle No. 507) of Hukkeri Police Station demanded Rs.500 from villager a Hukkeri resident in May 2007 to not harass him over a land-dispute compromise, threatening lock-up, and was caught in a Lokayukta trap with phenolphthalein-smeared notes and a positive hand wash. The Special Judge, Belgaum, convicted him under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) r/w 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act on 26 November 2011. The High Court held receiving illegal remuneration he was not entitled to attracted Section 13(1)(d)(i) though no official favour was pending, and rejected the sanction challenge. It set aside the Section 7 conviction but confirmed the 2-year RI plus Rs.3,000 fine under Section 13(1)(d), directing surrender. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
