1 appln 597 of 2011 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 597 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .. Applicant -versus Dilip Shankar Lingayat .. Respondent. Mrs. M.M. Deshmukh, for the Applicant. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 14th June, 2011 P.C. 1. Heard learned APP. This is an application for leave to file appeal against acquittal of the respondent Talathi, rendered by the learned Special Judge, Ratnagiri for the offence punishable under Sections 7, 13(1)(d) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Perusal of the judgment as well as evidence of the first informant show that the first informant had stated that accused had asked whether the first informant had brought money and thereafter received tainted amount. The learned Judge found that it was quite probable that the accused was under impression that for the purpose of showing separate possession it was necessary to get the land measured from T.I.L.R. and T.I.L.R. would do such measurement by urgent survey only on receiving money. Prima facie this does not justify receipt of money by Talathi. 2 appln 597 of 2011 Hence this aspect would require reconsideration. Leave granted. 2. Admit. Call for record and proceeding. 3. Action under Section 390 of Criminal Procedure Code. l (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
