Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Shiv Kumar Sharma under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code for receiving illegal gratification while serving as a public servant. The court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the conspiracy and the financial misconduct involved in the construction project. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his challenge to the conviction was rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
