T. SUBRAMANIAN vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 5(1)(d) read with Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, affirming the Madras High Court's reversal of the Special Judge's acquittal. The Court established that the demand and acceptance of bribe by a public servant, as evidenced by the testimony of the complainant and corroborated by the recovery of the marked currency notes, constitutes a clear violation of the Act. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's judgment and the accused's conviction.
