Karnataka Economic Offences (Inapplicability of Limitation) Act, 1981

Civil19813 sections

This law removes the time limit for prosecuting specific economic crimes in Karnataka. It amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure that courts can investigate and try cases involving tax evasion, lotteries, betting, and other financial offenses listed in the schedule. By suspending the usual legal time limits, the state can hold individuals and businesses accountable for financial misconduct even if significant time has passed, thereby strengthening the enforcement of economic regulations and protecting public revenue.
