<h1>Unauthorized Disclosure by Public Servants: Clause 248 Imposes Six-Month Imprisonment, Fine, Requires Central Government Sanction</h1> Clause 248 of the Direct Taxes Code Bill, 2009, addresses the unauthorized disclosure of information by public servants. It stipulates that if a public servant discloses information or produces documents in violation of section 268, they face imprisonment for up to six months and a fine. Prosecution under this clause requires prior sanction from the Central Government, which must be granted only after the public servant has been given an opportunity to be heard.
