Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 — back to Table of Contents

Section 5. Penalty

Any person who contravenes the provisions of section 3 shall be punishable with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees.

Note: This penalty amount, fixed in 1950, has not been revised and appears low by contemporary standards, though it remains the statutory figure in force.
