Electronic Evidence Alone Can Sustain Conviction Under Section 7 & 8 of PCA Despite Hostile Witness : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that voice recordings authenticated under Section 65-B of the Evidence Act, combined with circumstantial proof from middleman recoveries, are sufficient to prove demand and acceptance of bribe under the Prevention of Corruption Act-even when the complainant turns hostile. This sets a critical precedent for prosecuting corruption cases where witness testimony is unreliable, empowering investigators to rely on digital trails.
