Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, while setting aside the conviction under Section 7 of the Act. The Court established that the demand for bribe and the subsequent acceptance of the same by the appellant constituted a clear violation of the provisions of the P.C. Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to maintain the conviction under Section 13(2) and the sentence imposed by the trial court.
