SC affirmed the Trial Court's conviction of the accused for bribery offenses under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court found that the prosecution successfully proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the High Court's earlier overturning of the conviction.

The original conviction and sentence were upheld, with the accused directed to surrender before the Trial Court within two weeks.
