RADHA PISHARASSIAR AMMA vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of accused Nos. 4 to 7 under Section 13(1)(c) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, sentencing them to two years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 50,000 each. However, the Court set aside their convictions under Sections 409, 468, 471, 477-A, and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, finding insufficient evidence for those charges. The Court also noted the suicides of two accused during the trial, impacting the proceedings.
