\nHe said that the complainant’s parents passed away in 2016, leaving a 3-Biswa plot in village Dhol Khurd registered under his mother’s name. The inheritance mutation of this plot needed to be transferred to the complainant and his six siblings.<\/p>\n

The complainant prepared the required documents and submitted them to Patwari Gurjit Singh. The accused took the documents and demanded an illegal gratification of Rs 5,000\/- to get the mutation done.<\/p>\n

He further said that upon requesting, deal was settled at Rs 3500\/- with accused Patwari to get the mutation done of the complainant’s plot. Complainant also recorded the entire conversation of demanding bribe.<\/p>\n

Unwilling to pay the illegal gratification, complainant approached the VB range Ludhiana.
