Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Andhra Pradesh High Court's acquittal of the Respondent under Sections 7, 11, and 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, emphasizing the necessity of proving the order of sanction as per legal standards. The Court established that the prosecution's failure to adequately demonstrate the admissibility of the sanction order led to a misjudgment by the High Court. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction of the Respondent, affirming the findings of the Special Judge.
