Section 19 of Probation of Offenders Act has repealed Section 562 (substantially new Section 360) of Cr.P.C. subject to Section 18 which saves provisions contained in Section 5(2) (now Sec. 13(2) of Prevention of corruption Act, However, there is absolute bar regarding grant of probation in certain other Acts also e.g. for offences under P.F. Act of SC/ST (POA) Act. Both being special laws, how these provision can be reconciled ?
