The Supreme Court examined a case involving charges under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The trial court convicted the accused, but the High Court acquitted based on the failure of the prosecution to establish the demand element, relying on the precedent set in Neeraj Dutta v.
