हे का आहे

आधीची कलमे ताबा-संबंधित अपयशाच्या विशिष्ट व गंभीर प्रकारांना व्यापतात. ही तरतूद उरलेल्या पोकळ्या भरून काढते, म्हणजे सार्वजनिक सेवकाने कोणाला अटक न करणे किंवा निगराणी न ठेवणे याला फक्त इतक्यामुळे शिक्षा टळू शकत नाही की तंतोतंत तीच परिस्थिती इतरत्र लिहिलेली नव्हती. यामुळे जुना IPC Section 222/223 चा उर्वरित (residual) आवाका जतन होतो.
