Baldev Singh vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the concurrent findings of the Special Judge and the High Court. The Court found that the evidence, including the recovery of the bribe amount from the Appellant, was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Appellant's arguments regarding the lack of demand for bribe were dismissed, and the conviction was maintained, resulting in a sentence of three years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.5000.
