Prevention of Corruption Act | Demand Must Precede Offer & CDR Essential to Prove Phone Bribery: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court upholds acquittal in a bribery case, ruling that under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the prosecution must prove the accused first demanded the bribe, not merely accepted it. The court also held that call detail records (CDR) are indispensable to establish phone-based bribery, setting a strict standard for corroboration.
