    Corruption is one of the social menace and crime. Aggrieved party shall approach the concerned anti-corruption wing and take necessary legal action, which will deter frequency of this social menace.

    This judgment of conviction sends shivering fear on corrupt officials.

    Let us create better India for our future generation, which is free from corruption.

    Anyhow kudos to the prosecution & police team and complainant Mr. Bhandarkar.
