STATE REP. INSPECTOR OF POLICE, T.N. vs A. PARTHIBAN

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the respondent under Sections 7 and 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that while both sections operate separately, a single act cannot lead to dual convictions under both provisions. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the conviction under Section 13(2) while confirming the conviction under Section 7, and ruled that the provisions of Section 360 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 were applicable, allowing for probation.
