(Repealed)

Repealed and replaced by the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The old penal provision is no longer in force; conduct that it once covered is now dealt with under the anti-corruption law. For current offences, procedures and penalties consult the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

Ravi is asked by a public servant to pay a bribe and files a complaint. The old penal provision has been repealed, so investigators and prosecutors handle the matter under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 rather than the removed provision.
