Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A. Subair under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the findings of the Special Judge and the High Court. The Court established that the demand for bribe by the appellant for delivering a driving licence constituted an offence under the Act. The sentence of six months rigorous imprisonment and fines imposed by the lower courts were deemed appropriate and were upheld by the Supreme Court.
