K.R.R. Nair, a former Chief Fire Officer of the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, appealed against his conviction by the Special Judge (Prevention of Corruption Act), Port Blair, who found him guilty under Section 13(1)(e) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, for possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income to the extent of approximately Rs. 65,14,537.35 (about 85.97% excess) during the check period 1975–2003. The appellant challenged the conviction on multiple grounds including: the FIR being registered without territorial jurisdiction by the SP, CBI in Kolkata; the investigation being conducted by an unauthorised officer; the charge period violating Article 20(1) of the Constitution by extending to years before the PC Act came into force; and the valuation methodology being defective and inflated. The State/CBI contended that the prosecution had conclusively proved its case through 35 witnesses and 203 documents, and that the challenges to the FIR and investigation were misconceived. The judgment text provided does not disclose the final ruling of the High Court, as the matter appears to have been reserved and the text is incomplete.
