Study Notes
Breach of Contract for Care of Helpless Person
- Involves individuals obligated by a lawful contract to care for or meet the needs of those unable to do so themselves due to youth, mental incapacity, illness, or physical weakness.
- Failure to fulfill this obligation voluntarily results in legal consequences, including potential imprisonment of up to three months.
- Financial penalties may also be imposed, with fines reaching up to five thousand rupees, or a combination of both imprisonment and fines.
Repeal and Savings Clause
- The Indian Penal Code has been repealed.
- Repeal does not eliminate rights, privileges, obligations, or liabilities established under the old Code.
- Any penalties or punishments incurred prior to the repeal are still enforceable.
- Ongoing investigations or remedies related to offences under the repealed Code continue unaffected.
- Actions taken prior to the repeal are recognized as valid under the current statutory framework.
- The specific references within the savings clause do not limit the broader implications of the General Clauses Act of 1897 regarding the impact of repeal.
