Can you provide information about Section 213 under Chapter 11 - False Evidences and Offences Against Public Justice?
Section 213 deals with taking a gift, etc., to screen an offender from punishment. It states that whoever accepts or attempts to obtain, or agrees to accept, any gratification for himself or any other person, or any restitution of property to himself or any other person, in consideration of his concealing an offence or of his screening any person from legal punishment for any offence, or of his not proceeding against any person for the purpose of bringing him to legal punishment, shall be punished based on the nature of the offence. If the offence is punishable with death, the punishment may extend to seven years of imprisonment and a fine. If punishable with imprisonment for life or imprisonment, the term may extend to three years of imprisonment and a fine. If the offence is punishable with imprisonment not extending to ten years, the punishment is based on the description provided for the offence, up to one-fourth part of the longest term of imprisonment provided for the offence, or with fine, or with both.
