AHMEDABAD: Controller of explosives (Vadodara) A D Petkar, who was caught red-handed accepting a bribe of Rs 500 for renewing explosive-transport licences of two truck-tankers in 1989, has been sentenced to a total of four years' rigorous imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1,000.

The sentence was given by a CBI special judge, B N Jani, on Wednesday.

It was alleged that Petkar had asked for a bribe from one N K Jadav for renewal of licences for his two truck-tankers. Jadhav then lodged a complaint in this regard. The matter was transferred to the CBI and a charge-sheet was filed in 1992.

The court ordered that the accused stands convicted under Section 235 (7) of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the offence punishable under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

He was also convicted for the offence under Section 13 (1) (d) r.w. Dec. 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and was sentenced to undergo another two years' of rigorous imprisonment. Both the sentences will run concurrently.
