Supreme Court:The Cost of Contradiction: Why Varying Demand Figures Across Collateral Proceedings Defeated the Bribery Allegation

 From the aforesaid, it is clear that when the complainant deposed in the present proceedings, he did not refer to an initial demand of ` 200/- being made by A1 on 07.02.1996. He further does not state that by way of final settlement an amount of ` 120/- was agreed to be paid. The version of the complainant as recorded in this case, therefore, is in variance with his deposition in Criminal Case No. 826/1996 on the amount of demand by A1. Be it noted that the complaint leading to Criminal Case No. 826/1996 was made on 06.03.1996, which is within a month of the alleged demand.
