Explanation using Example

Imagine a local politician during an election campaign offers free meals and drinks to constituents at a community event with the expectation that they will vote for him in return. This act of providing food and drink as a form of gratification to influence the voters is considered "treating".

However, as per the provision, this specific type of bribery (by treating) would be punishable with a fine only, rather than imprisonment or a combination of fine and imprisonment.
