    Question

    According to the PC Act, recovery of tainted money

    without proof of demand results in:
    A Automatic conviction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Conviction for attempt Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Acquittal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Presumption under Section 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Mandatory retrial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Recovery of money without proof of demand is insufficient for conviction. Under Section 7, the bribe-giver must have made a demand or inducement for an undue advantage; absent this, the offence is not complete. Courts consistently require proof of demand before statutory presumption under Section 20 can be invoked. Option C correctly identifies that demand is a foundational element of bribery offences. Options A, B, D, and E misstate statutory requirements or presume liability without essential elements.
