Summary: The Supreme Court allowed K.N. Rajagopal's appeal on November 7, 2008, while maintaining his conviction under Section 420 read with Section 120-B IPC and Section 5(1)(d) read with Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Court reduced his substantive imprisonment sentence to the period already undergone and maintained the fine imposed by the lower court. The appellant was directed to deposit the fine within four weeks; failure to do so would result in imprisonment, but upon timely payment, he would be released if not required in any other case.
