Section 61 of IPC : Section 61: [Repealed]

Explanation using Example

An example of the application of Section 61 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, before it was repealed, might involve a case where a person was convicted of a crime and the court also ordered the forfeiture of the person's property as part of the sentence. However, since the provision for forfeiture of property under Section 61 has been repealed by the Indian Penal Code (Amendment) Act, 1921, this is no longer a valid legal penalty. For instance, if someone was found guilty of espionage during the early 20th century, the court might have not only imposed a prison sentence but also ordered that the individual's property be seized by the state. After the amendment in 1921, the courts no longer have the authority to include forfeiture of property in their sentencing.
