State Of Punjab vs Sohan Singh

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision, holding that the acquittal of the respondent under Section 13(1) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 was erroneous. The Court established that the prosecution had sufficiently proven the demand and acceptance of bribe through the testimonies of the complainant and witnesses, as well as the recovery of the marked currency notes. Consequently, the Court upheld the conviction of the respondent for corruption-related charges, emphasizing the importance of corroborative evidence in such cases.
