    Question

    A foreign public official is bribed by an Indian

    company. The PC Act applies through:
    A Section 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Section 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Section 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D IPC only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E IT Act Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 9 extends the PC Act to bribery of foreign public officials by Indian companies or their representatives. This aligns domestic law with international anti-corruption obligations, including the UN Convention against Corruption. It ensures accountability for cross-border bribery, preventing circumvention of anti-corruption measures. Option B is correct. Other options fail to capture this extraterritorial applicability or focus solely on domestic enforcement.
