2017 (12) TMI 970 - HC - Indian LawsBribery - the consideration of ₹ 6,50,000/- has been given to the respondent only to secure a job in Tamil Nadu Electricity Board - order of acquittal - Held that: - As rightly pointed out by the learned X Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, for any employment in Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, the criteria for selection is the basic qualification and eligibility. There cannot be any payment of money for securing a job. Therefore, since the appellant has paid a sum of ₹ 6,50,000/- to the respondent with enough knowledge that the money is being paid as a bribe for securing a job, it cannot be said that the consideration is a lawful one - the order of acquittal passed by the learned X Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore is confirmed - appeal dismissed.
