Jharkhand High Court Upholds Jail Term for 1995 Rs 100 Bribe Case
The Jharkhand High Court upheld the conviction of former railway parcel clerk Kali Shankar Dhobi for accepting a Rs 100 bribe in 1995 at Ranchi's Hatia Railway Station. The case, initiated after a CBI trap, resulted in a one-year jail sentence and a Rs 10,000 fine, with the court noting that any extra charge beyond legal fees constitutes illegal gratification. Despite Dhobi's age and health, the court maintained the conviction after over three decades of legal proceedings.
