The appellant, a Deputy Engineer in Gujarat Electricity Board, was convicted under Sections 7, 13(1)(d), and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs. 40,000 from the complainant to reduce an electricity theft bill. The appellant appealed against the conviction, arguing that the prosecution's case was based on circumstantial evidence and that there were discrepancies in the evidence. The appellant also claimed that the complainant had filed a false complaint to take revenge. The court heard the appeal and perused the evidence on record. The appellant's arguments included that the sanction for prosecution was not given after proper application of mind and that no anthracene powder was found on the appellant's clothes.
