Shinde, J., refused to discharge an Income Tax Officer from charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The applicant Income Tax Officer was accused of demanding a bribe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applicant while working as an income tax officer demanded a bribe of Rs 10 lakhs from the complainant to ignore all the disputed cash deposits and discrepancy noticed with regard to the sale consideration of a property in relation to the assessment proceedings of the complainant\u2019s daughter. In the said assessment proceedings, the complainant\u2019s daughter was represented by accused 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accused 2 informed the complainant and his wife that applicant demanded Rs 10 lakhs to ignore the discrepancies and disputed cash deposits, and if not paid, he would impose additional tax and penalty, which could be around Rs 1 Crore and 81 lakhs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Complainant stated that he explained the queries raised by the applicant\/income tax officer. However, applicant emphasized that transactions reflected in the bank account would be taxable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the complainant, during the meeting, applicant demanded Rs 10 lakhs to ignore all the queries, after which demand was scaled down to Rs 5 lakhs for ignoring the queries except the cash transactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The complainant recorded the conversation transcript of the recorded conversation, divulged tacit approval of the applicant to favour the complainant by ignoring certain queries. Transcript further divulged that applicant consented to accept the bribe money, which he demanded on 29-12-2016 through Chartered Accountant. \u00a0Every right from verification of the complaint till recording the conversation was noted in the panchanama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Transcript of the recorded conversation revealed implicit approval of the applicant to show favour in assessment proceedings of complainant\u2019s daughter against the reward of Rs 50,000 which was to be paid to accused on behalf of the applicant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prosecutor submitted that transcript of recorded conversation between the complainant and the C.A. clearly revealed demand of bribe money and its acceptance through the CA. Further, it was argued that the impugned order does not suffer any infirmity or material irregularity and\/or illegality and thus this Court in its revisional jurisdiction may not appreciate the material on record and interfere in impugned order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Law relating to the power of the Sessions Court to discharge the accused has been well settled in the decision of <em>State of Maharashtra v. Priya Sharan Maharaj, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Jh43qsF0\">(1997) 4 SCC 393<\/a>; <em>Niranjan Singh Punjabi v.

Thus, transcript of the conversation confirmed the material allegations made in the complaint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, the material before the Court disclosed grave suspicion suggesting complicity of the applicant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court found no material on record to come to the conclusion that there is no sufficient ground to proceed against the applicant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Application was dismissed in view of the above.
