1 appln 762 of 2011 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.762 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .. Applicant Versus Rajendra G Apate ..Respondent Mr. J. P. Kharge, APP for the State. CORAM: R. C. CHAVAN, J. DATED : 20th August, 2011. P.C.: 1. This is an application for leave to file appeal against the judgment of acquittal of the respondent, for the offences punishable under Sections 7, 13 (1) (d) read with section 13 (2) and of the Prevention of Corruption Act, recorded by the learned Special Judge, Ratnagiri. Learned APP rightly points out that the observations of the learned Judge that anthracene powder was found only on the little finger of the accused is not in tune with the recitals of the panchnama at Exh.27, which shows that anthracene powder was found on the fingers of right hand. He also points out that the observation in para 31 of the judgment that the pre-trap panchnama does not disclose that Constable Ghosale had washed his hand, is not correct and pre-trap panchanama 2 appln 762 of 2011 mentions that after applying anthracene powder constable Ghoshale had washed his hand before proceeding further. The post trap panchnama also shows that before examining the hands of the accused, the hands of the entire police party had been examined in ultra violet light and hands or clothes of raiding party were not found to be tainted. In view of this since the observations of the learned Judge do not seem to be in conformity with the record, leave granted. Admit. Call for record and proceeding. Action under Section 390 Criminal Procedure Code. (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
