Summary
Appellant challenged conviction for demanding and accepting bribe. HELD- under the Prevention of Corruption Act, demand and acceptance of illegal gratification must be proved beyond reasonable doubt. Complainant turned hostile; no work was pending; tainted money was recovered from the ground. Electronic evidence was inadmissible without a valid, contemporaneous Section 65B certificate; a six-year-delayed certificate could not cure the defect. Conviction set aside; appellant acquitted.
