District Inspector of Police, State of Andhra Pradesh and Another, [2015 (9) TMI 1666 - SUPREME COURT], are in conflict with an earlier three-judge bench decision of this Court in M. Narsinga Rao v. State of A.P., [2000 (12) TMI 892 - SUPREME COURT], regarding the nature and quality of proof necessary to sustain a conviction for the offences under Section 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 when the primary evidence of the complainant is unavailable.
