Summary of Crl.A. No. 436/1997 - A. Abdul Kaffar v. State of Kerala The Supreme Court dismissed A. Abdul Kaffar's appeal, upholding his conviction under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (sections 7 and 13) and IPC section 201. The court rejected his defense that Rs. 10,000 received from a taxpayer was advance tax payment, finding the receipt he produced was fabricated after his arrest and released on bail, as he failed to mention it to investigating officers at the time of arrest—the only plausible defense if genuinely issued. The convictions for bribery and obstruction of justice were affirmed; sentences included 6 months and 2 years rigorous imprisonment respectively.
