18. The statutory presumption under Section 20 of the PC Act is not

automatic and arises only once the foundational facts of demand and

acceptance are proved. The same has been reiterated time and again

by this Court; in the recent decision of Rajesh Gupta v. State through

Central Bureau of Investigation, it was held:

"17. For an offence under Section 7 of PC Act, the demand of illegal

gratification is a sine qua non to prove the guilt. Mere recovery of

currency notes cannot constitute an offence under Section 7 of PC Act,

unless it is proved beyond reasonable doubt that accused voluntarily

accepted the money, knowing it to be a bribe. The proof of acceptance

of illegal gratification can follow only if there is proof of demand."

19. It is therefore vital to examine these elements before the

circumstance of recovery can assume any significance. We once again

rely on the observation of this Court in Rajesh Gupta (supra):

"16. .... The law is well-settled by the judgments of this Court in Panna

Damodar Rathi v. State of Maharashtra, (1979) 4 SCC 526 and

Ayyasami v. State of Tamil Nadu, (1992) 1 SCC 304, whereby it has

been clarified that the sole testimony of the complainant, who is the

interested witness, cannot be relied upon without having corroboration

with the independent evidence."

23. In contrast, the defence has consistently maintained that the

alleged demand and acceptance of bribe never took place. According

to the appellant, the complainant entered his office alone and during

the appellant's brief absence, placed the tainted amount in the left-

drawer of the table. Accordingly, when the trap-party entered, the

appellant immediately denied having received any money, and the

phenolphthalein test on both hands yielded negative results."

"25. It is pertinent to note that till 05.02.2007, when the there is not

even a whisper of there being any demand of bribe. Moreover, when the

Complainant went back to the Respondent's office at 5:30 PM with the

money, the prosecution case itself as per the deposition of its witnesses

Complainant that he had already forwarded the concerned makes it

clear that the Respondent had informed the file. Thus, if the same is

accepted, there was no occasion for the Complainant to go ahead with

paying the amount, which he claims to be in the nature of bribe

demanded by the Respondent, after the work for which the bribe was

purportedly sought, had already been done. The observation of the

High Court to this extent is correct that just because money changed

hands, in cases like the present, it cannot be ipso facto presumed that

the same was pursuant to a demand, for the law requires that for

conviction under the Act, an entire chain, beginning from demand,

acceptance, and recovery has to be completed. In the case at hand,

when the initial demand itself is suspicious, even if the two other

components of payment and recovery can be held to have been proved,

the chain would not be complete. A penal law has to be strictly

construed [Md. Rahim Ali v. State of Assam, 2024 SCC OnLine SC

1695 @ Paragraph 45 and Jay Kishan v. State of U.P., 2025 SCC

OnLine SC 296 @ Paragraph 241. While we will advert to the

presumption under Section 20 of the Act hereinafter, there is no cavil

that while a reverse onus under specific statute can be placed on an

accused, even then, there cannot be a presumption which casts an

uncalled for onus on the accused. Chandrasha (supra) would not apply

as demand has not been proven. In Paritala Sudhakar v. State of

Telangana, 2025 SCC OnLine SC 1072, it was stated thus:

21. As far as the submission of the State is that the presumption under

Section 20 of the Act, as it then was, would operate against the

Appellant is concerned, our analysis supra would indicate that the

factum of demand, in the backdrop of an element of animus between the

Appellant and complainant, is not proved. In such circumstances, the

presumption under Section 20 of the Act would not militate against the

Appellant, in terms of the pronouncement in Om Parkash v. State of

Haryana, (2006) 2 SCC 250:

[2026:RJ-JP:10960] (13 of 30) [CRLAS-153/2021]

'22. In view of the aforementioned discrepancies in the prosecution

case, we are of the opinion that the defence story set up by the appellant

cannot be said to be wholly improbable. Furthermore, it is not a case

where the burden of proof was on the accused in terms of Section 20 of

the Act. Even otherwise, where demand has not been proved, Section 20

will also have no application. (Union of India v. Purnandu Biswas

[(2005) 12 SCC 576: (2005) 8 Scale 246] and T. Subramanian v. State

of T.N. [(2006) 1 SCC 401: (2006) 1 Scale 116])'

"18. On an examination of the evidence, there is considerable doubt

raised in our mind, which qualifies as reasonable doubt, as to whether

there was acceptance of bribe amounts by both the accused. True, the

officers of the trap team spoke about the handing over of the money by

the complainant to the 1st accused who handed over half, to the 2nd

accused; which amounts were said to have been put by both the

accused in their trouser pockets. PW 8 who led the trap team merely

spoke of a recovery of the bribe amounts from the possession of the

accused and the hands and trousers of the accused having positively

reacted to the test solution. The said deposition is contrary to the

statements made by the independent witnesses that some notes were

found thrown on the floor. None of the officers spoke of any of the

accused having taken out the notes and thrown it on the floor."

7. Public servant taking gratification other than legal remuneration in

respect of an official act.-

[2026:RJ-JP:10960] (14 of 30) [CRLAS-153/2021]

Whoever, being, or expecting to be a public servant, accepts or obtains or

agrees to accept or attempts to obtain from any person, for himself or for

any other person, any gratification whatever, other than legal

remuneration, as a motive or reward for doing or forbearing to do any

official act or for showing or forbearing to show, in the exercise of his

official functions, favour or disfavour to any person or for rendering or

attempting to render any service or disservice to any person, with the

Central Government or any State Government or Parliament or the

Legislature of any State or with any local authority, corporation or

Government company referred to in clause (c) of Section2 or with any

public servant, whether named or otherwise, shall be punishable with

imprisonment which shall be not less than three years

but which may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.

Explanations.-

(a) "Expecting to be a public servant"- If a person not expecting to be in

office obtains a gratification by deceiving others into a belief that he is

about to be in office, and that he will then serve them, he may be guilty of

cheating, but he is not guilty of the offence defined in this section.

ficial Tinos

(b) "Gratification". The word "gratification" is not restricted to pecuniary

gratifications or to gratifications estimable in money. (c) "Legal

remuneration"- The words "legal remuneration" are not restricted to

remuneration which a public servant can lawfully demand, but include all

remuneration which he is permitted by the Government or the organisation,

which he serves, to accept. (d) "A motive or reward for doing". A person who

receives a gratification as a motive or reward for doing what he does not

intend or is not in a position to do, or has not done, comes within this

expression.

(e) Where a public servant induces erroneously to believe that his influence

with the a person Government has obtained a title for that person and thus

induces that person to give the public servant, money or any other

gratification as a reward for this service, the public servant has committed

an offence under this section."

“……the statement of law on admissibility of

secondary evidence pertaining to electronic record, as

stated by this Court in Navjot Sandhu case (supra),

does not lay down the correct legal position. It requires

to be overruled and we do so. An electronic record by

way of secondary evidence shall not be admitted in

evidence unless the requirements Under Section 65B

are satisfied. Thus, in the case of CD, VCD, chip, etc.,

the same shall be accompanied by the certificate in

terms of Section 65B obtained at the time of taking the

document, without which, the secondary evidence

pertaining to that electronic record, is inadmissible…”
