Summary

Repealed by the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, so it no longer has any legal force. Offences or procedures that earlier fell here are now governed by the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. If you see this provision in older texts or an FIR, consult the 1988 Act for the current law.

Example

Ravi was named in an FIR that cited the old IPC provision in a bribery allegation. The police noted the repeal and proceeded under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 instead. No charge was framed under the repealed provision.

Bare Act

Enacted text

Rep. by the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (49 of 1988), s. 31.
