Penal Code, 1860–Sec. 477–Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947–Sec. 5(1)(c)(2)–Conviction–Base of conviction is the inspection /audit report–It was carried out only by three persons out of five members–Further, it was carried out de hors the established procedure–it bore the signatures of only one member and other two members were conspicuously absent–Entire process casts a shadow of doubt on the version of prosecution–Conviction of appellants is bad in law and deserves to be quashed and set aside.
