Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, confirming that the evidence presented by independent witnesses was credible and sufficient to establish the delivery of bribe money. The Court emphasized that the mere fact of a witness being a habitual complainant does not undermine the integrity of their testimony. It also noted that the recovery of tainted money from the appellant raised a presumption under Section 20 of the Act, which the appellant failed to rebut. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings.
