Section 7 PC Act | Circumstantial Evidence Including Forensic Handling of Tainted Currency Suffices for Bribery Conviction : Calcutta HC
Calcutta HC rules that conviction under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act does not require direct recovery of bribe money from the accused if circumstantial evidence, such as forensic handling of tainted currency, establishes demand. This precedent strengthens anti-corruption prosecutions by lowering the evidentiary threshold for proving bribery.
