Section 7 & 13(2) PC Act | Consistent Trap Evidence of Bribe Demand & Acceptance Suffices for Conviction : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court affirms that corroborative testimony from the complainant and shadow panch regarding a ₹7,000 bribe demand for cheque signature establishes guilt under the Prevention of Corruption Act, rejecting procedural inconsistencies as grounds for acquittal. The ruling underscores that minor lapses in trap execution do not override substantive evidence of corruption by public servants.
