Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 165A IPC for attempting to bribe a police officer to alter evidence in a criminal case. The Court found sufficient evidence, including witness testimonies and the recovery of bribe money, to affirm the lower court's decision. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the one-year rigorous imprisonment sentence imposed by the Special Judge.
