The petitioner wants that sanction should be given by the State to prosecute the Commissioner of Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation on the ground that he has demanded bribe from the petitioner. There is absolutely no evidence nor any prima facie 2 2 2 material with the petitioner to show that any bribe is demanded. Even it was open to the petitioner to approach the anti-corruption department immediately on such alleged demand. But he did not do so. Now he wants that his statement alone should be believed and sanction should be accorded. We are not in agreement with any of the submissions made by the advocate for the petitioner. Hence the petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. [D.G.DESHPANDE,J] [D.G.DESHPANDE,J] [D.G.DESHPANDE,J] [S.A.BOBDE, J] [S.A.BOBDE, J] [S.A.BOBDE, J]
