Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the conviction under Sections 7, 12, 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court emphasized that the demand for a bribe must be established beyond reasonable doubt, and the prosecution must prove the accused's involvement in the corrupt act. The Court upheld the conviction of the accused, affirming that the evidence presented sufficiently demonstrated the corrupt practices involved in the issuance of the non-agricultural certificate.
