After 25 years, HC acquits sales tax officer of taking ₹4,000 bribe Updated: Updated: ‘The CBI has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt’ Share Article ‘The CBI has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt’ Twenty-five years after the CBI laid down an elaborate trap to catch a sales tax officer allegedly seeking ₹4,000 bribe, the Delhi High Court on Thursday acquitted the man saying that the agency has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Justice Suresh Kumar Kait noted that the demand and acceptance of bribe can be proved beyond reasonable doubt only if there is recovery of the money, which is a direct evidence of bribery. “In the instant case, it is admitted by the CBI that there is no recovery from the appellant [the accused]. Consequently, demand and acceptance become doubtful,” Justice Kait said.
