Rameshwar Prasad Ratre vs State Of C.G on 10 January, 2022
In view of the aforesaid discussion and in the light of
14
view taken by the Supreme Court in the matter of C.S. Girish
(supra) and N. Vijayakumar (supra), it is clear that the
prosecution has failed to prove its case of demand and
acceptance of bribe money by the appellant. Therefore, only
on the basis of recovery of the tainted money, conviction of
the appellant is not sustainable. The finding of the trial Court
is not in accordance with the evidence available on record as
also not in accordance with law. The appellant is entitled to
receive the benefit of doubt.
