Section 16 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 applies to fines under which of the following sections?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 16 governs fines imposed "under section 7 or section 8 or section 9 or section 10 or section 11 or sub-section (2) of section 13 or section 14 or section 15". It does not mention section 12, and the shorter list of section 13(2) and section 14 was the position before the 2018 amendment.
