Section 31 (1)
|
Collective fine when can be imposed.
The section visualizes a situation when court offences by reason of the
frequency of their preparation and other attending circumstances may
legitimately call for imposition of collective fine by of deterrent in
order to check the further commission of such offences.
The section does not by reason of a single incident, confer power on the
Government to impose collective fine in a particular locality. On the
contrary the clear recital in the section furnishes a t giblc and rational
basis for imposition of collect fine to check criminal courses of conduct
by a community.
