Explain Section 216A regarding the penalty for harbouring robbers or dacoits.
Section 216A imposes a penalty for harbouring robbers or dacoits. Whoever, knowing or having reason to believe that any persons are about to commit or have recently committed robbery or dacoity, harbours them or any of them, with the intention of facilitating the commission of such robbery or dacoity or of screening them or any of them from punishment, shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to a fine. Explanations are provided, stating that for the purposes of this section, it is immaterial whether the robbery or dacoity is intended to be committed or has been committed within or outside India. Exceptions state that this provision does not extend to the case in which the harbour is by the husband or wife of the offender. [Chapter 11, Section 216A]
