AMJAD ALI SAHITO, J-. Being aggrieved and dissatisfied with the Judgment dated 07.04.2025, passed by the learned Special Judge Anti-Corruption (Provincial), Larkana in a Direct Complaint No.13 of 2024, arising out of Direct Complaint No. 13 of 2024, registered under sections 161 P.P.C r/w Section 5(2), Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947. After full dressed trial, the trial court acquitted the respondent No.1 from the charge.

2. Applicant present in person submits that the impugned judgment passed by the trial court is in accordance with law, facts is result of mis-reading and non-reading of evidence as the trial court has not considered the evidence of the complainant properly, who fully supported the version of prosecution; that there is no material contradiction into the evidence of prosecution witnesses, otherwise material evidence connects the accused person with the commission of offence.

3. Heard, perused the record.

4. From perusal of record it reflects that the appellant/complainant went at Police Station Rehmatpur, where S.H.O P.S. Imdad Ali Jagirani forcibly snatched amount of Rs.247,000/- from his pocket and two Oppo Mobile phones and confined him in police lockup and again on 15.06.2024 complainant was kept in private house and again brought at Police Station and thereafter was released after keeping snatched amount and mobile phones as bribe, hence the complainant filed the direct complaint.

5. Since there is allegation against the respondent Imdad Ali S.H.O P.S. Rehmatpur that he forcibly snatched amount of Rs.247,000/- from his pocket and two Oppo Mobile phones and confined him in police lockup, but no evidence has been produced by the appellant/complainant during recording his evidence to believe ownership.

6. In view of above, it appears that no any illegality or irregularity has been pointed out by the appellant. Resultantly instant criminal acquittal appeal is dismissed in limine along with pending applications.
