Shukla accepted the alleged amounts as a motive or reward for showing favour or disfavour to any person and that the said favours and disfavours were shown in the discharge of their duties as public servants as contemplated by Section 7 of the Act (Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988). Thus the Court will have to presume all the above facts in the absence of any evidence in connection therewith to frame charges against the petitioners."
