Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the charges against R.C. Sabharwal under Section 13(1)(e) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and against Puneet Sabharwal under Section 109 IPC for abetting the offence. The Court found that the evidence presented established that R.C. Sabharwal had amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, and Puneet Sabharwal was complicit in the criminal conspiracy. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions challenging the charges was affirmed, allowing the prosecution to proceed.
