JAMMU, Dec 30: Special Judge Anticorruption Barmualla Amarjeet Singh Langeh today rejected the bail application of one Nisar Ahmad Wani, clerk of Fire & Emergency Service Department posted at Sopore, who was caught red-handed while demanding and accepting bribe of Rs 5000 from the complainant for issuance of NOC for opening of a timber sale depot.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “there is prima facie evidence regarding involvement of petitioner in the alleged offence. Other factors like character of evidence collected during investigation, nature and gravity of offence involved, minimum punishment prescribed for offence, character, position and standing of accused, gravity of accusation and larger public interest – also heavily tilt against petitioner at this stage”.
Accordingly, court dismissed the bail application.
