Ahmadabad, Jan 15: A CBI court in Ahmedabad delivered a stern judgment, in a "disproportionate assets case" following which an Inspector from the Central Excise and Service Tax department in Bhavnagar was convicted and sentenced to five years' rigorous imprisonment, coupled with a Rs 63 lakh fine.
His wife received one year's imprisonment and a Rs 50,000 fine for abetment.
This verdict under Section 13(1)(e) of the PC Act exemplifies the judiciary's zero-tolerance approach, calculating assets disproportionate to known income sources.
