Section 29 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 mainly serves which legislative purpose?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 1944 provides for attaching property obtained by the scheduled offences, and section 29 extends it to the Central Government, to more public bodies and to offences under the 1988 Act. Its purpose is effective attachment of tainted property, not heavier punishment or wider judicial review.
