B.Jayaraj vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d)(i)(ii) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the findings of the lower courts. The Court emphasized that the demand for a bribe and the subsequent acceptance were sufficiently proven through the sodium carbonate solution test, which indicated the presence of tainted currency notes. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for one year along with a fine was maintained.
