Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision allowing criminal revisions under Section 13(1)(d)(2)(ii-iii) and Section 120B IPC related to corruption in the Hasdeo Bango dam project. The Court emphasized that the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, mandates strict adherence to procedural norms and accountability for public officials. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, reinforcing the legal principle that public servants must not engage in corrupt practices, thereby affirming the integrity of public procurement processes.
