Bribery Case: Thane Court Acquits Consultant of Private Company

A special court in Maharashtra’s Thane district has acquitted a 43-year-old consultant of a private company accused of offering a bribe to a former legislator.

The Judge

Special ACB court judge Amit M Shete ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove the charges against the alleged accused, Hiten Narayan Solanki, who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Public Prosecutor

Additional public prosecutor Sanjay B More informed the court that the accused had purportedly offered Rs 4 lakh to former MLA Narendra Mehta to favor his firm for a civic tender. Defence counsel Ranjit Sangle highlighted loopholes in the probe and the prosecution’s argument.

The court noted that the complainant in the case was well aware of his position in the civic body, and despite this, he had entertained the alleged accused.

It further stated that the evidence presented on record by the prosecution was not strong, clinching, and trustworthy.
