    Question

    Narrowing of “criminal misconduct” under the 2018

    amendment of the PC Act means:
    A Habitual bribery removed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Misappropriation retained Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only two categories remain Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D DA removed from misconduct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The 2018 amendment narrowed the offence of criminal misconduct under Section 13 by removing the habitual bribery clause, retaining misappropriation of entrusted property, and excluding disproportionate assets from the definition of misconduct as such while retaining it as a separate offence under Section 13(1)(b). Consequently, habitual elements were removed, misappropriation retained, and the scope confined to clearly definable conduct. All listed outcomes correctly reflect this narrowing.
