Question
Read the following statements thoroughly: 1.
Giving a bribe is punishable under the PC Act. 2. A bribe-giver acting under coercion may receive protection. 3. Reporting requirement must be fulfilled to claim such protection. Which statements are correct?Solution
The PC Act criminalises both the giving and taking of bribes. Section 8 makes the bribe-giver punishable, thereby ending the earlier one-sided focus only on corrupt public servants. However, recognising the reality of coercive corruption, the Act provides statutory protection to a bribe-giver who was compelled to give the bribe. This protection is conditional and applies only if the person reports the offence to law enforcement authorities within the prescribed period. Since giving a bribe is punishable, coercion offers protection, and reporting is mandatory, all three statements correctly reflect the law.
