Demand and acceptance of illegal gratification was held not established where the prosecution's material was weak: the complainant turned partially hostile, a shadow witness conceded the voice recording was inaudible, and no application or lawful competence for issuing the clearance certificate by the accused was proved; temporal inconsistencies between visits and alleged demand further weakened the case.

The piece reiterates that acquittal reinforces presumption of innocence and appellate interference is unwarranted absent compelling contrary evidence.
