GOVT. OF ANDHRA PRADESH vs P. VENKU REDDY

The Supreme Court examined whether a Supervisor working in a District Co-operative Central Bank falls under the definition of a 'public servant' under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The High Court had previously quashed the criminal proceedings, ruling that only office bearers of such societies were covered. The core legal issue is the interpretation of Section 2(c)(ix) of the 1988 Act regarding employees of co-operative banking societies.
