Mukut Bihari & Anr vs State Of Rajasthan on 25 May, 2012
21. I am not persuaded by the aforesaid submission of
the learned Senior counsel. As pointed out by the learned
Government Advocate, the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court reported in (2012) 11 SCC 642 (Mukut Bihari V. State of
Rajasthan) answers atleast two of the contentions raised by
the learned Senior counsel appearing for the appellant. It has
been clearly held in the said case that the acceptance of
submission of the accused that the complainant's version
required corroboration in all circumstances, in abstract would
encourage the bribe taker to receive illegal gratification in
privacy and then insist for corroboration for the case of the
prosecution. Only if the evidence is found to be unreliable or
there is contradiction, corroboration may be necessary.
Likewise non-observance of the instructions in the Vigilance
manual will not vitiate the proceedings. They are merely
instructions and guidelines and they do not have statutory
force and therefore non-observance thereof would not vitiate
the proceedings.

an unreported decision of this Court made in Crl.A.(MD)No.
262 and 272 of 2014 dated 11.05.2020. He would contend that
there was absolutely no demand whatsoever by the appellant
for payment of any illegal gratification. The learned Senior
counsel would deny that there was any meeting between the
accused and the defacto complainant on 29.08.2002 at about
8.00 p.m. in the office of the Revenue Divisional Officer as
claimed by the prosecution. According to the defence, the
accused conducted two inquests on the said date. After
conducting the same, the accused reached his office only at
9.30 p.m and thereafter, straightaway went home.
