SUMMARY The Supreme Court dismissed the CBI's appeal challenging the High Court's acquittal of Naval Kishore, a bank manager charged with accepting illegal gratification of Rs. 300. The Court found that while prosecution witnesses (PW-1, PW-7, PW-10) established demand for bribe, their testimonies contained material contradictions regarding how the money was handed over to an intermediary. The Court upheld the High Court's reasoning that PW-10 (a formal panch witness) was unreliable and the defence version regarding payment for a bicycle transaction could not be ruled out, making conviction improper without proof beyond reasonable doubt.
