STATE vs T. GRACE — Crl.A. No. 176/2006

Summary: State v. T. Grace (Crl.A. No. 176/2006) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the State's appeal on October 27, 2010. T. Grace, a Revenue Inspector charged under Prevention of Corruption Act sections for allegedly taking Rs.100 as a bribe for a fire certificate, was acquitted by the High Court. The Supreme Court upheld this acquittal, finding the High Court's acceptance of Grace's defense credible—that the Rs.100 was a contribution toward Flag Day celebrations, not a bribe, substantiated by departmental evidence of authorized flag-selling targets. Bailable warrants against respondent were discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
