Persons subject to certain Acts
AI Assist
Summary
People governed by the Army Act, the Naval Discipline Act or the Air Force Act cannot be punished under the IPC for offences defined in this Chapter. When such an offence arises, the relevant service law and military disciplinary authorities handle the matter instead of ordinary criminal courts. The consequence is that any punishment follows military/service law procedures rather than IPC procedures.
Example
Ravi is an Army soldier accused of an offence listed in this Chapter. He will not be prosecuted under the IPC in a civilian court; instead the Army Act discipline process and military authorities will deal with his case.
