Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 Section 24

pratik (Querist) 17 June 2010 This query is : Resolved
24. Statement by bribe-giver not to subject him to prosecution.

Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, a statement made by person in any proceeding against a public servant for an offence under Sections 7 to 11 or under Sections 13 or Section 15, that he offender agreed to offer any gratification (other than legal remuneration) or any valuable thing to the public servant, shall not subject such person to a prosecution under Section 12.

Pls advice me

So as per my understanding the person who has given the bribe to the public officer is not liable to be guiltly & while not be held to be behind the bars or prosecution (I think one & the same).

meaning of prosecution means behind the bars please correct me if i am wrong.

Thanking u all advances.
