PULWAMA: In a significant verdict reinforcing the commitment to combating corruption, the Hon’ble Special Judge Anti-Corruption Court Pulwama, Dr. Noor Mohammad Mir, convicted Ghulam Hassan Kumar, son of Ghulam Rasool Kumar, resident of Tarigam Devbug, Kulgam, in a bribery case registered under FIR No. 22/2008 PS VOK.
The accused, then-serving as Girdawar, was found guilty under Sections 5(2) read with 5(1)(d) of the J&K Prevention of Corruption Act, Svt. 2006 and Section 161 RPC, for demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹2,000 from the complainant, in exchange for demarcating land measuring 18 kanal and 18 marla.
Following a complaint filed on June 16, 2008, a trap was successfully laid by the Vigilance Organisation Kashmir (now Anti-Corruption Bureau), during which the accused was caught red-handed while accepting the bribe.
After thorough investigation, a chargesheet was filed on December 4, 2008, and the case proceeded for judicial determination. On August 18, 2025, the Hon’ble Court delivered the judgment, sentencing the accused Under Section 5(2) r/w 5(1)(d) of J&K PC Act, Svt. 2006 for simple imprisonment for three years and six months along with a fine of ₹20,000. In default of payment, an additional simple imprisonment of three months. Under Section 161 RPC the accused was sentenced for simple imprisonment for one year and a fine of ₹10,000. In default, an additional simple imprisonment of one month.
This conviction marks another milestone in the Anti-Corruption Bureau’s ongoing efforts to uphold integrity and accountability in public service.
