“Harbour”
AI Assist
Summary
Harbour means supplying someone shelter, food, drink, money, clothes, arms, ammunition, transport, or otherwise assisting them to evade arrest. It applies whenever a person helps another to avoid apprehension by these or similar means. The definition is not used in the investigation provision (section 157) and not where a wife or husband gives shelter under section 130.
Example
Priya hides her brother who fears arrest, gives him shelter and money, and helps arrange transport out of town. Those actions count as harbour and will be treated as assisting to evade apprehension for offences where harbouring is relevant.
Bare Act
