Chandigarh, Oct. 14 -- The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday filed a chargesheet against city-based advocate Jatin Salwan, who was arrested in a corruption case thisAugust. The CBI had registered an FIR against Salwan and his aide, Satnam Singh, on August 16, over allegations of demanding Rs.30 lakh bribe to secure favourable judicial orders in a divorce case pending before a Bathinda court. In one of the recordings provided by the complainant, Salwan was purportedly heard saying: "Rishwat de paise kade ghat nahi honde" (bribe amount is never reduced). The chargesheet has been filed under Sections 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 7-A of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, (as amended in 2018). The case has now been adjourned to October 23. As per the chargesheet, Salwan had approached the woman (petitioner in the divorce case) with a demand of Rs.30 lakh as bribe, claiming influence with a judicial officer and promising favourable order. It was stated that the advocate's claim that he was merely quoting his professional fee, is "totally wrong and misleading" as no power of attorney or document has been produced to show that he was formally engaged by the woman in her divorce case. The CBI chargesheet states that Salwan repeatedly referred to the names of three different judicial officers, demonstrating that he was "unscrupulously invoking and misusing the names of judicial officersfor the purpose of demanding bribes, undue advantage irrespective of the technical jurisdiction". The CBI stated it is not a case of ordinary corruption, rather a "disturbing instance where an advocate, who is an officer of court, has demanded Rs.30 lakh by explicitly citing his personal influence over judicial officers and promising favourable orders through corrupt means"....
