casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Bhaskar Shankar Wagh's Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's 2008 judgment regarding attachment/confiscation of his disproportionate property under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The petitioner sought return of the property upon depositing Rs. 9 lakhs (the original difference from known income sources), but the Court rejected this, holding that allowing such restitution after 34 years would unfairly benefit the convicted person, as property values had increased manifold, effectively making the Government hold property in trust for the accused at a premium.
