casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's acquittal of two public servants (Deputy Secretary and Deputy Financial Adviser of Visakhapatnam Port Trust) convicted of corruption under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Court found the High Court erred in law by ignoring statutory presumptions and making out new factual arguments not raised at trial; evidence of bribe acceptance (Rs.5,000 each) recovered in a trap operation, coupled with credible witness testimony, was sufficient under Section 20(1) of the Act. The Court reduced sentences to one year imprisonment per offense with original trial court's fines. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
