Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of Mr. K. Inbasagaran under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, where he was initially convicted for corruption but later acquitted by the Madras High Court. The Court held that the evidence presented, including the substantial cash and assets found during the Income-tax raid, was sufficient to establish the charges against the accused. Consequently, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal and reinstated the conviction, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity in public service.
