The High Court of Karnataka has acquitted a police inspector from a disproportionate assets case on finding that he in fact had more income than assets and expenditures contrary to the Lokayukta police’s chargesheet, which was “blindly” accepted by the trial court without proper appreciation of evidences.
Justice K. Natarajan passed the order while allowing a petition filed by B. Ramakrishna, a police inspector.
The Lokayukta police had filed chargesheet against him during 2009-2010 for allegedly possessing disproportionate income during the check period 1996-2008. He was raided when he was serving in Mahalakshmi Layout police station in Bengaluru.
