Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Section 120B of IPC, confirming the conviction but reducing the sentence to the period already undergone, which was more than one year. The Court noted that the co-accused received a reduced sentence, and thus, in the interest of justice, the appellant's sentence was also modified. The appellant was directed to be released if not required in any other case.
