Mere recovery of tainted cash cannot lead to conviction in bribery case: Chhattisgarh High Court
India's Chhattisgarh High Court cleared an accountant employed in the Surajpur District Education Officer's office, ruling that the prosecution failed to demonstrate a demand for a bribe. The court noted that simply recovering cash suspected of being illicit does not satisfy the legal threshold for a bribery conviction, leading to the official's acquittal in this case.
