A supreme Court bench comprising Justices Doriaswamy Raju and A. Pasayat, while allowing an appeal of the Andhra Pradesh government challenging a high court order acquitting a public servant in a corruption case, expressed concern over the spread of corruption and observed the adage ‘‘every man has a price’’ was a little generalised but not far from truth.The bench said that anti-corruption laws have failed to achieve the desired results as they ‘‘do not appear to have curbed the growth of corruption’’. ‘‘The tentacles of corruption is spreading fast in the society, corroding the moral fibre and the economic structure of the country,’’ Justice Pasayat said.
