Naresh Choubey vs Central Bureau Of Investigation

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Sections 420, 471, and 465 of the IPC, and Sections 13(1)(c), (d) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, affirming the trial court's findings. The Court noted that the Appellant, a Dealing Assistant, wrongfully recommended payment for forged bills, leading to embezzlement of Rs.6,00,000. The sentence of three years rigorous imprisonment under the IPC and two years under the PC Act was deemed appropriate, considering the Appellant's age and health, and the appeal was dismissed.
