The Court further held that for Section 161 of the Indian Penal Code, "reward" includes payment for a past service rendered by a public servant, not only gratification for a future act. The conviction under Section 161 and Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act was affirmed, but the custodial sentence was reduced to the period already undergone in view of the appellant's age, low salary, loss of employment and short custody. en-us Mon, 14 Oct 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 06 Dec 2021 11:53:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299184 Receipt of a bribe by a public servant was held to constitute illegal gratification where the evidence showed acceptance of Rs. 30 in connection with the complainant's tender, and the explanation of a taxi-expense payment was rejected as improbable.
