New Delhi: A Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) accused of accepting a ₹50 bribe could not prove his innocence during his lifetime. However, after 37 years, the Supreme Court has finally given him justice, acquitting him of all charges. The apex court ruled that the prosecution had failed to establish the bribery allegations against him.
Although the TTE is no longer alive to witness his exoneration, the court’s verdict brings closure to a decades-long case. The court has also directed that all financial benefits, pension, and pending dues be released to the TTE’s legal heirs within three months.
