IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3006 OF 2007 The State of Maharashtra )..Applicant Versus Mohaniraj Sakharam Kankorikar )..Respondent ---- Mr.A.S.Shitole APP for the applicant/State. Mr.P.P.Runwal for the respondent. ---- Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 23.07.2008. PC 1. This is an application filed by the State for leave to appeal. I find that the acquittal is based on cogent reasons. A bribe amount of Rs.100/- is said to have been demanded and accepted for passing of a bill. The evidence indicates that in fact the bill was sanctioned one day prior to the alleged acceptance. The trial Court has found that there was no cogent evidence relating to making of demand. On two occasions, accused refused to accept and it was his case that to make a trap successful, money was thrust in his bag forcibly. Taking an overall view, it is not a fit case for interference in appeal against acquittal. Hence, leave refused. Consequently appeal papers to be filed. : 2 : (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
