BADRI RAI & ANOTHER vs THE STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 120B and Section 165A of the Indian Penal Code for conspiring to bribe a public servant. The Court found that the evidence from August 24 indicated a clear conspiracy, and the statement made by the first appellant on August 31 was admissible under Section 10 of the Indian Evidence Act as it was part of the same transaction. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, sentencing the appellants to 18 months of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 200 each.
