Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution had established the demand and acceptance of a bribe of Rs.60,000 by the appellant, which constituted an offence under the Act. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of one year rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.50,000 was maintained.
