Section 226 of IPC : Section 226: Repealed

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where an individual, let's call him Rohit, was convicted of a crime in India during the time when transportation for life was a form of punishment (before the repeal of Section 226 of the IPC in 1955). Rohit was transported to a penal colony as part of his sentence. If Rohit had managed to escape from the colony and return to India before the repeal of Section 226, he would have been charged under this section for unlawfully returning from transportation. However, since the law has been repealed, this scenario can no longer occur in contemporary times, and thus, no new charges would be brought under this section post-repeal.
