Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that set aside the conviction of the respondent under Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court erred in its assessment of the contributions made by the respondent's sons and the societal norms regarding familial financial support. The Court reinstated the conviction, emphasizing that the respondent's assets were disproportionate to his known sources of income, thus affirming the findings of the Special Judge.
