|Andhra Pradesh High Court
PC Act Section 13(1)(e) | Acquittal Due to Improper Evidence Appreciation & Rejection of Defence Testimony on Cash Sources : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court acquitted a sanitary inspector in a disproportionate assets case, holding that the prosecution failed to prove its case because it relied on inadmissible evidence and unjustifiably dismissed credible defence claims about cash gifts and agricultural income. This reinforces that mere asset disparity is insufficient without reliable, properly evaluated evidence - a critical safeguard for public servants facing corruption charges.
