K. SUBBA REDDY vs STATE OF A.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming that the demand for a bribe of Rs. 3,000 by the accused, who was a Home Guard, constituted an offence under the Act. The Court found sufficient evidence, including the recovery of the bribe amount from the appellant, to support the conviction. The sentence of rigorous imprisonment for one year and a fine of Rs. 1,000 was also upheld, confirming the lower court's decision.
