SHIVA PRASAD vs STATE OF A.P. — Crl.A. No. 770/2006

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 770/2006 - Shiva Prasad v. State of A.P. The Supreme Court dismissed Shiva Prasad's appeal challenging his conviction under Section 13(1)(e) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, for possessing disproportionate assets. The core dispute involved properties registered in his mother's, wife's, and maternal aunt's names—the appellant claimed these weren't his assets, but the High Court found he failed to prove the women had legitimate income sources and likely purchased them using his funds. The Court upheld the conviction and one-year rigorous imprisonment sentence (minimum mandatory). The State was directed to consider hospitalization for the 74-year-old appellant, who was critically ill with paralytic attack, rather than jail detention.
