CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 23rd June, 2011. Heard Mr. P.S.Wathore, Adv. for the applicant and Mr.A.S.Parihar, A.P.P. for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2. By this application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the applicant has questioned the F.I.R. dated 20th October, 2010 in Crime No.3075 of 2010 lodged under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 registered with respondent no.2 – Inspector, Police Station, Karanja. The applicant has contended that she had no intention nor did she agree to accept the bribe, as alleged, for conducting post mortem of she-buffalo. According to the applicant, she is innocent and is being falsely implicated in serious accusations u/s. 7 as well as 13 (1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. And, therefore, the applicant has prayed for quashing of the proceedings on the ground that she is not even remotely connected with the alleged offence. The learned A.P.P., who opposed the petition, has contended that the applicant had accepted a sum of Rs.50/- before the panch witnesses and she has not given the receipt thereof to the complainant. The petition is also opposed on the 2 ground that there is material collected in the form of communication being made on mobile phone as, according to the respondent, the applicant had made demands for a sum of Rs.4,000/- initially as payment other than the legal remuneration for conducting post mortem of she-buffalo and giving report about it so that the complainant can receive amount from the State Government for death of she-buffalo. Considering the nature of serious accusations, I think that this Court must be slow in quashing the criminal proceedings. However, it would be open for the applicant to file appropriate application for discharge etc. in the event the charge-sheet is filed in the case. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
