Trap Evidence & Phenolphthalein Test Sufficient for Conviction Under Section 161 IPC & PCA | Allahabad HC Upholds Bribery Conviction Without Complainant Testimony
Allahabad High Court rules that trap evidence, phenolphthalein test, and corroborative testimony are sufficient to convict a public servant under Section 161 IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act, even without the complainant's testimony. The judgment reinforces the admissibility of scientific evidence in bribery cases, setting a precedent for anti-corruption prosecutions.
