Bare Act

The Kerala Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1962

This Act modifies the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act to clarify who qualifies as a "public servant" within the state of Kerala. It expands this legal definition to include temple board officers, panchayat members, university staff, and other officials from institutions receiving government aid, not just standard government employees. By explicitly listing these roles, the legislation aims to strengthen corruption laws, prevent bribery in non-traditional public entities, and ensure clearer legal accountability for individuals influencing these specific groups of state-supported workers.
