State Of Punjab vs Madan Mohan Lal Verma

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the respondent under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, emphasizing that the prosecution established the demand and acceptance of illegal gratification. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the conviction, as the evidence presented, including the recovery of marked currency notes, was sufficient to prove the charges. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Trial Court's judgment and sentence.
