KRISHNA KANT GAUR Vs. STATE OF U.P.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Sri Viresh Misra holding brief of Sri R. C. Shukla, learned counsel for the appellant, and the learned State counsel.

(2.) THIS is an appeal against the judgment and order dated 9-3-1979 passed by Sri Chhotey Lal Jatav, IV Additional Sessions Judge/Special Judge, Bareilly in Special Case No. 11 of 1978, convicting the appellant under Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and sentencing him to one year's R. I. and a fine of Rs. 50. In default of payment of fine, the appellant was to undergo further R. I. for one month.

(3.) I am, however, of the view that the present case if of petty nature and it will be utter waste of public time and money to endeavour to get the record reconstructed. Even otherwise the efforts to reconstruct the record are nothing but a wild goose chase. Unless the parties have certified copies of the statements and other papers, the record cannot be reconstructed properly and no reliance can be placed on a uncertified copies of any statements produced by any party.
