Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 7 and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the demand and acceptance of a bribe for contract renewal constituted a clear violation of anti-corruption laws. The evidence, including the recovery of tainted money and the chemical test results, supported the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
