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 High Court's decision. The Court established that the acceptance of bribe by a public servant in connection with their official duties constitutes a clear violation of the Act. The evidence presented, including the recovery of marked currency notes, was deemed sufficient to support the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
