The Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau on Tuesday arrested two forest officials from Palghar district on the charge of demanding and accepting bribe to help a builder secure a land-related document, said an official. Navnath Jagtap, deputy superintendent of ACB-Palghar, said the duo had asked for Rs 10,000 and a bottle of alcohol to issue a no objection certificate, one of the documents needed to declare a plot as non-agricultural land. Acting on a complaint by the builder, the ACB laid a trap and arrested one of the forest officials as he accepted the liquor bottle, said the officials. ACB officials said citizens can reach the anti-graft body through its helpline -- 1064 -- to report bribe demands. (PTI)

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) why an `Enforcement Case Information Report` (ECIR) cannot be quashed if the original offence on which it is based has been closed. A division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavan was hearing a petition filed by Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal and his wife Anita Goyal seeking the quashing of an alleged money laundering case registered against them by the ED.
Generally an ECIR is registered on the basis of a criminal case registered by the police, CBI or any other agency. (PTI)
