D. VELAYUTHAM vs STATE REP.BY INSPECTOR OF POLICE

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of both Accused under Section 120B IPC and Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, while reducing their sentences to one year each. The Court set aside the conviction of Accused 1 under Section 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, affirming the High Court's decision to partly allow the appeals. The judgment emphasizes the necessity of corroborative evidence in bribery cases and the legal standards for establishing the offense under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
