Which one of the following was NOT discussed by the Supreme Court in State of Lokayuktha Police, Davanagere v. C B Nagaraj, decided on 19 May 2025 ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The Nagaraj judgment examined proof of demand, acceptance and recovery of the alleged bribe. It held that recovery alone did not complete the prosecution case when demand remained unproved, and discussed the resulting limits on the Section 20 presumption. Punishment for repeated corruption offences under Section 14 was outside the issues examined in that decision.
