New Delhi, May 24: A Delhi Court staffer has been booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly soliciting bribes worth crores of rupees on behalf of a Sessions Judge in exchange for bail to at least six individuals accused in a GST evasion case.
The Sessions Judge until recently presided over a special CBI court at Rouse Avenue. While the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi Government had also sought sanction to prosecute the Judge & its request, passed on by the government to the Delhi High Court, was denied on grounds of insufficient evidence.
However, the court said the ACB could approach the court again if any material is collected that indicates the Judge’s involvement.
However, on 20 May, the special Judge was transferred from Rouse Avenue to another court.
