The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: identifications and corroborating evidence proved the appellants' involvement in corruption and abetment; the second appellant's alibi was discredited by positive eyewitness identification; appellants failed to rebut the statutory presumption under MACC Act s50 on a balance of probabilities; the statutory misdescription in the trial judge's reasoning was harmless and curable under CPC s422; sentences were not manifestly excessive and are upheld.
