Shiju.M.Thankachan vs The State Of Kerala on 27 December, 2006

8. It is also settled law that mere recovery of tainted amount from the possession of the accused alone is not sufficient to attract the offence, unless it is proved by Crl. A. No.60 of 2007 11 the prosecution, the demand and acceptance of the amount. Only if the demand and acceptance are proved by the prosecution, then only the presumption under Section 20 of the Act will be attracted. The burden on the accused is not so onerous as that on the prosecution to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt and he can prove the same by preponderance of probabilities as well.

Sat Paul vs State Of West Bengal on 31 March, 2006

38. In view of the aforesaid discussion I am clearly of opinion that the arguments canvassed before me by Mr. Mitra relating to discrepancies have not at all shattered the prosecution case and all these discrepancies after a gap of 10 years are probable, expected and ignorable being minor discrepancies and not vital. There are catena of decisions to the effect that minor discrepancies which are not vital or fatal should always be ignored. The pronciples of law on this point is well-settled and I do not like to refer too many decisions to make my judgment lengthy; still I refer some of the decisions, namely, State of West Bengal v. Kailash Chandra Pandey reported in 2005 Cr. L.J. 135, Angnoo v. State of Uttar Pradesh , Banwari v. State of Rajasthan reported in 1979 Cr. L.J. 161, Appabhai v. State of Gujarat and Narotam Singh v. State of Punjab .

118. Ld. Defence counsel made reference to Judgment of the Calcutta High Court "Kailash Chandra Pandey V State of West Bengal 2003 Cri L J 4286" to submit that the since the work of the complainant had already been done there was no reason for the accused to have demanded money form the complainant without realizing this Judgment of the Hon'ble High Court had been overruled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court by its Judgment In AIR 2005 SUPREME COURT 119 "State of West Bengal v. Kailash Chandra Pandey" . In this case one of the reasons for the acquittal of the accused was amount covered by impugned bills of complainant contractor had already been released was not accepted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The relevant part of the Judgment reads "It was submitted by learned counsel for the respondent that the bills of the complainant for the period in question have already been passed and payments made. That may be so, but this is not a ground to disbelieve the prosecution case."
