Explanation using Example

Imagine a ship captain who has been informed of a quarantine regulation requiring all vessels to undergo a 14-day quarantine before docking due to an outbreak of an infectious disease. Despite knowing this, the captain decides to dock immediately to avoid delays, thereby disobeying the government's quarantine rules. The captain could be charged under Section 271 of The Indian Penal Code, 1860, and if found guilty, could face imprisonment, a fine, or both.
