Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under the Prevention of Corruption Act for demanding and accepting bribes in his capacity as a Sub-Registrar. The court found that the evidence presented, including testimonies and documentation, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt. Consequently, the court confirmed the High Court's decision to maintain the conviction and sentence of one year imprisonment and a fine.
