Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Trial Court's rejection of the discharge application filed by Dilip Mulani, who was accused under Section 120-B IPC and Sections 7, 12, 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the payment of bribes and the involvement of other parties, established a prima facie case against the accused. The Court emphasized that the discharge application could not be granted as the evidence indicated a significant role played by the accused in the alleged corruption.
