| Court frames charges against JA in trap case | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 22: Special Judge Anticorruption Baramulla Amarjeet Singh Langeh today framed charges against Bashir Ahmad Khan the then Jr. Assistant in Tehsil Social Welfare Office, Sopore in trap case.
The crux of allegations against accused is that while complainant in the case approached accused, the then Jr. Assistant in Tehsil Social Welfare Office, Sopore - in connection with restoration of monetary assistance to his disabled wife with fresh medical certificate, accused allegedly demanded bribe of Rs. 5,000/- from him in processing the case of his disabled wife for restoration of benefit under relevant scheme, which was stopped by department few years back. When accused allegedly demanded bribe as aforesaid from complainant, later (complainant) approached Anti-Corruption Bureau, Baramulla with a written complaint on 23.05.2022 for taking legal action against accused. With ACB, Baramulla, FIR No. 16/2022 for offence under section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was registered against accused and investigation started.
Special Judge Anticorruption Baramulla Amarjeet Singh Langeh after hearing both the sides observed that the evidence collected during investigation in the form of evidence of complainant, alleging demand of bribe by accused for aforesaid purpose, acceptance of same by him and subsequent recovery thereof coupled with evidence of witnesses involved in trap proceedings and other material available on record, explicitly indicates involvement of accused in commission of offence under Section 7 of P. C. Act. Argument that since accused did not use his hands in receipt of money and only allowed the bribe money to be placed below his laptop and he as such be discharged - is an argument which is bereft of both logic and legal force at this stage. For all what is said herein-above, accused is prima facie involved in commission of aforesaid offence and he is charge sheeted for the same. Accused pleads not guilty and claims to be tried.
