casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Dashrath Singh Chauhan v. CBI Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and acquitted Dashrath Singh Chauhan of all corruption charges under Sections 7 and 13(2) read with 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, setting aside his two-year imprisonment and ₹40,000 fine. Key Reasoning: The Court found that conspiracy charges against both the appellant and co-accused Rajinder Kumar were not proven and both were acquitted. Since Rajinder Kumar received complete acquittal from all PC Act charges, the appellant was equally entitled to acquittal. Additionally, the prosecution failed to prove both essential elements of bribery—while demand may have been shown, actual acceptance by the appellant was never established; the money was recovered from Rajinder Kumar's possession with no proven link to the appellant after conspiracy charges failed.
