Applicant. -versus Uddhav Govindrao Mane .. Respondent. Mrs. S.D. Shinde, APP for the Applicant State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 24th August, 2011P.C. 1. This is an application for leave to file appeal against acquittal of the respondent for the offence punishable under Sections 7 and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs.1,000/- for issuance of a certificate which was already delivered to the first informant by one Deshpande from the office of applicant. Panch P.W.2, stated in paragraph 10 of his deposition that there was no demand of bribe to the accused before issuance of certificate. The accused in his defence claims that the first informant thrust the amount in his pocket which he resisted and threw the amount. The learned Judge found the defence to be probable. It cannot be said that the learned Judge erred in concluding that the defence of the accused that he had not demanded money, but amount was thrust in his pocket was probable. In view of this leave refused. Appeal Dismissed. (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
