Bribe Recovery ≠ Guilt | Supreme Court Acquits Officer in Corruption Case | PC Act Ruling #ytshorts

📌 Supreme Court on Prevention of Corruption Act | 2025 LiveLaw Case Analysis

In a significant judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of Lokayuktha Police, Davanagere v. C B Nagaraj [2025 LiveLaw (SC) 620], clarified that mere recovery of bribe money does not establish guilt under Section 20 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

The Court ruled that the prosecution must prove demand, acceptance, and recovery—recovery alone isn't enough to shift the burden of proof to the accused.

The bench comprising Justices Pankaj Mithal and Ahsanuddin Amanullah acquitted the accused public servant, reinforcing the principle that demand is the sine qua non for conviction in bribery cases.
