The Court of Additional Sessions Judge Dr Ajit Atri has convicted Tarsem Singh (61), a retired employee of the PSPCL, Behlolpur, Samrala tehsil, Ludhiana district, in a corruption case.
He was sentenced to undergo five years of rigorous imprisonment. He was also ordered to pay a fine of Rs 10,000.
The court declined the plea of leniency raised by the convict on the grounds that he was suffering from various ailments, retired from service after facing trial for years and never misused the concession of bail, with the observation that such grounds were of no help in view of his indulgence in corruption.
