Rodents destroy currency notes seized in corruption case, Supreme Court expresses surprise

The Supreme Court has expressed surprise that currency notes, which were allegedly seized from the possession of an accused in a corruption case lodged in Bihar, were destroyed by rodents.

A Bench of Justices J. B. Pardiwala and K. V. Viswanathan wondered how many such currency notes get destroyed as they are not kept at a safe place, and termed it a "huge revenue loss" for the State.
