    Question

    A bribe-giver reports the coercion within 7 days.

    According to the PC Act, he is:
    A Fully protected from prosecution Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Protected only if bribe < ₹10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Never protected Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Liable for abetment Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Protected only if court approves Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When a bribe-giver reports the act of coercion within seven days, as prescribed under the Act, full statutory protection from prosecution is granted. This provision aims to encourage reporting of corrupt demands and to treat coerced bribe-givers as victims rather than offenders.
