Gopalbhai Oghadbhai Parekh vs State Of Gujarat on 17 August, 2000
20. I
have perused the decision in the case of Gopalbhai Oghadbhai Parekh
Vs. State of Gujarat reported in 2002(1) GLR 89. The facts of that
case are totally applicable to the facts of the present case. In the
case on hand, the complainant has not properly explained about
acceptance of the bribe money on the part of accused, but the
complaint lodged by the complainant is clearly revealed that the
accused made demand of Rs.10000/- towards illegal gratification and
looking to the marks of anthracene powder on the body of the accused
as also on the pant of the accused, it is clearly established that
the accused on his own, accepted the bribe amount. The panchnama also
supported the case of the prosecution. Therefore, this Court cannot
ignore the evidence of other witnesses.
