Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of S. Sundara Kumar under the Prevention of Corruption Act, confirming the lower court's judgment. However, the appeal was limited to the quantum of sentence, as the conviction had already been affirmed. The appellant had served approximately one year and one month of rigorous imprisonment, prompting the court to consider the appropriateness of the sentence imposed.
