Section 27(1)(c) requires the offence for which the respondent is imprisoned to be one defined in the Indian Penal Code, 1860, not the Code of Criminal Procedure, Indian Evidence Act, or the Special Marriage Act itself.
Current law: the Indian Penal Code, 1860 was replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 from 1 July 2024; section 27(1)(c) itself still refers to the IPC.
