Case Summary: Duraisami v. State of Tamil Nadu (Crl.A. No. 355/2000) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's conviction and sentence. Appellant Duraisami, an Assistant Executive Engineer, was acquitted of bribery charges under Section 161 IPC and Section 5(1)(d) read with 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court found his explanation credible: the Rs.500 he received was payment for Indira Vikas Patras sold on credit to the complainant, supported by documentary evidence (Exhibit P-16). The court held the High Court wrongly reversed the trial court's acquittal and rejected defense witness testimony. Any fine paid shall be refunded.
