Not Necessary That Bribe Amount Should Be Substantial To Draw Presumption Under S.20 Prevention Of Corruption Act : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that it is not necessary for the bribe amount to be substantial in order to draw a presumption under Section 20 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court emphasized that even a small bribe could be presumed to be corrupt under the law. This ruling clarified the threshold for presumption under the Act, making it clear that the severity of the bribe does not affect the presumption of corruption. The judgment aims to strengthen anti-corruption measures by broadening the scope of presumed corrupt acts.
