இ.த.ச 177
யாராவது ஒருவர், நாம் சட்டப்படியும் நியாப்படியும் ஒரு பொது ஊழியர் ஒரு தகவலைக் கேட்கும் போது நான் சரியான தகவலை தர பொறுப்பாகின்றோம்.
அதனை அறிந்தும் நாம் ஒரு தவறான தகவலையும் அறிக்கையையும் தருவது குற்றமாகும். அது அவருக்கு நன்றாக தெரியும் அது ஒரு தவறான தகவல் என இது குற்றமாகும்.
இந்தக் குற்றத்திற்கு ஆறுமாதங்கள் வரை வெறுங்காவல் தண்டனை அல்லது ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் வரைக் கூடிய அபராதம் அல்லது இரண்டும் சேர்த்து தண்டனையாக விதிக்கப்படும்.
அல்லது
ஒரு குற்றத்தைப் பற்றி நாம் தகவல் தர கடமைப் பட்டு இருக்கின்றோம் அல்லது ஒரு நடைப் பெற இருக்கும் ஒரு குற்றத்தை பற்றி நாம் தகவல் தர கடமைப்பட்டு இருக்கின்றோம். இவைகளை செய்யாமல் நாம் குற்றவாளிகளை காப்பாற்ற வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணத்தில் அத்தகைய தகவலை தராமல் இருப்பதும் மறைப்பதும் குற்றமாகும்.
இந்தக் குற்றத்திற்கு இரண்டு ஆண்டுகள் வரை நீட்டிக்க கூடிய சிறைத்தண்டனை அல்லது அபராதம் அல்லது இரண்டும் சேர்த்து தண்டனையாக விதிக்கப்படும்.

குறிப்பு -
இந்த பகுதியில் உள்ளவற்றை பொது அறிவாக மட்டும் எடுத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும் ஏதாவது
சட்ட நுனுக்கம் தவறாக இருப்பின் சுட்டிக் காட்டுங்கள்
திருத்திக்கொள்கிறோம். இதையே இறுதி வடிவமாக எடுத்துக் கொள்ளக்கூடாது. மேலும் இது வழக்குக்குரியதல்ல.
