2017 (7) TMI 1307 - SC - Indian LawsBribe - demand of illegal gratification - Sections 7 and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 - HELD THAT:- On an overall appreciation of evidence on record, in the context of the elucidation of law pertaining to proof of the ingredients of Sections 7 and 13 of the Act as adverted to herein-above, we are of the unhesitant opinion that the prosecution has failed to prove the charge levelled against the original accused beyond all reasonable doubt. The charge against him therefore fails. The Trial Court as well as the High Court had failed to analyse the factual and legal aspects as involved in their true perspectives and resultantly the determinations made are not sustainable - the impugned judgment and order of the High Court affirming the conviction and sentence recorded by the Trial Court is set aside. Appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
