NANI GOPAL MITRA vs THE STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, despite the repeal of Section 5(3) during the appeal process. The Court ruled that the presumption under Section 5(3) could still be invoked as it was procedural in nature. Additionally, the Court found that the lack of specific particulars in the charge did not invalidate the conviction since the appellant did not raise this issue at trial or before the High Court.
