Brief of the Case
Supreme Court held In the case of P. Satyanarayana Murthy V. The Dist. Inspector of Police and ANR that the proof of demand of illegal gratification is the gravamen of the offence under Sections 7 and 13(1) (d)(i)&(ii) of the Act and in absence thereof, unmistakably the charge there for, would fail. Mere acceptance of any amount allegedly by way of illegal gratification or recovery thereof, out of the proof of demand, ipso facto, would thus not be sufficient to bring home the charge under these two sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988.
