Raj Rajendra Singh Seth @ R.R.S. Seth vs The State Of Jharkhand And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 120B and 161 IPC and Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, affirming the findings of the Special Judge, CBI, Ranchi. The Court emphasized that the demand for a bribe by the doctor constituted a clear violation of the law, and the evidence presented, including the pre-trap and post-trap procedures, was sufficient to establish guilt. The sentences of rigorous imprisonment for one year and a fine were also confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that corruption in public service is a serious offense.
