Section 497 Criminal Procedure (XLV of 1860), Section 161/109 Corruption Prevention Act (III 1947), Section 5 (2) Unlawful Remedies, Abatement Guarantees, Prevention of Corruption, Section 5 (2) of 1947 ). Three years imprisonment or fine and not coming under the ban of 5 49 497, the CCPC was likely to have the trial court only to punish the accused, leaving the accused behind bars, in this prose. To no avail. A civil servant and serving Wapda for the last twenty years, without any allegations of corruption, Wapda had no chance of being an accused. And it was no longer needed for investigation.
