The High Court considered a case involving bribery and criminal liability, where an individual sought provisional release for monetary gain. The court held that the accused, a public servant, abused his position to obtain pecuniary gain for releasing a consignment, causing wrongful loss to the government. The court rejected the argument that finality of provisional release under the Customs Act absolves criminal liability. Witness statements and documents supported the conspiracy allegations. The court found sufficient prima facie evidence to proceed against the accused, leading to rejection of petitions and revision application.
