Why don't you see the book or make google search.
This sort of bookish question when answer is easily available without any hassle should be discouraged.

thanks all gentleman for your kind reply.
Reason behind the question :
Police wanted a favour from Govt officer whihc he denied. now the govt officer is threatned to be charged with these sections. he was told the officer can not be charged with only section 120B hence they put other sections as prefix or suffix to 120B Since these are commomn section like 420, 467,468.
due to curiosity i asked wat maximum can happen if that govt officer does not extend his favour.
True i could have seen in google or asked my other advocate frnds.
Special thanks to Ajay Sethi saab. I can suggest officer to negotiate on 120B.
