    Question

    Under Section 20 of the PC Act, the legal presumption

    arises only when:
    A The tainted amount is recovered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Acceptance of undue advantage is proved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Public servant denies wrongdoing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Phenolphthalein test is positive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Demand is disputed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The presumption under Section 20 of the PC Act arises only after the prosecution proves acceptance or obtaining of an undue advantage by the public servant. Mere recovery of money or a positive phenolphthalein test is insufficient. The presumption operates only once foundational facts of acceptance are established.
