Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Indra Vijay Alok under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court established that the demand for bribe by the appellant for processing a mutation request constituted a clear violation of the anti-corruption statutes. The evidence presented, including the testimony of the complainant and the recovery of marked currency notes, was deemed sufficient to support the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
