EDMUND S LYNGDOH vs STATE OF MEGHALAYA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Deva Prasad Sharma under Section 420 IPC, Section 120B IPC, and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, confirming the findings of the Gauhati High Court. The Court found that Sharma, as Chief Engineer, colluded with others to procure Damp Seal Cement at inflated prices from fictitious firms, resulting in significant financial loss. The appeal by Edmund S. Lyngdoh against his conviction was also addressed, with the Court affirming the lower court's decision.
