Section490
(Repealed) Breach of contract of service during voyage or journey
AI Assist
Summary
No longer in force: the provision that treated breach of a contract of service during a voyage or journey as a criminal offence has been repealed. It does not create criminal liability now; disputes must be pursued under other laws or by civil remedies.
Example
Ravi signed on as a crew member for a coastal voyage but left the ship mid-journey. Since the old provision has been repealed, he will not be prosecuted under it; the employer would have to sue for breach or seek other legal remedies instead.
