Section 169. Public servant unlawfully buying or bidding for property
Whoever, being a public servant, and being legally bound as such public servant, not to purchase or bid for certain property, purchases or bids for that property, either in his own name or in the name of another, or jointly, or in shares with others, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both; and the property, if purchased, shall be confiscated.
Query : So as per the above mentioned section a public servant as per the section 21 of the IPC, 1860 can't buy or bid any property.
Also what do u mean by certain property as mentioned in the above section. Pls Explain me in details or with any case laws on it.
Thanks In advance.
God Bless U All.
