A 30-year-old ₹300 bribery case has ended with Madhya Pradesh High Court upholding the acquittal of a land revenue officer. The court said recovery of tainted cash alone was insufficient to prove bribery, noting that ₹325 in government dues was pending against the complainant. The officer was accused of demanding money for issuing a duplicate land record in 1996.
