PRAKASH CHAND vs STATE (DELHI ADMINISTRATION)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Prakash Chand under Section 5(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 161 IPC for accepting a bribe, emphasizing that uncorroborated testimony of a trap witness can be sufficient for conviction if the court finds the witness credible. The Court clarified that evidence regarding the conduct of the accused during police confrontation is admissible under Section 8 of the Evidence Act, despite the restrictions of Section 162 CrPC. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
