Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the High Court's decision to reduce the sentence from 2 years to 1 year with a fine of Rs. 5000. The Court found that the evidence presented by prosecution witnesses was sufficient to establish the charge against the appellant, despite the acquittal of the main accused. The Court also addressed the appellant's claims regarding the lack of evidence and the prolonged litigation, ultimately deciding to maintain the reduced sentence.
