Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the accused in a bribery case, emphasizing the High Court's factual findings that the complainant was unreliable and that the defense evidence was more credible. The Court noted that the recovery of the bribe money from an open table contradicted the prosecution's narrative, as tainted money would typically be concealed. The judgment highlighted the importance of cogent reasoning in the High Court's decision, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
