https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179070 Section 64(3) of the Kerala Police Act gives police officers limitation protection only for acts done in pursuance of a duty or authority under the Act or other law, so conduct wholly outside official duty, such as alleged assault in custody or wrongful confinement in a lock-up, is not covered. Section 473 of the Code of Criminal Procedure extends limitation only within Chapter XXXVI and cannot override a separate limitation bar under another statute. Section 197(1) CrPC was also inapplicable because the alleged acts were not done in discharge of official duty. The complaint was therefore maintainable and not time-barred. en-us Tue, 05 Sep 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 14:25:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179070 Section 64(3) of the Kerala Police Act gives police officers limitation protection only for acts done in pursuance of a duty or authority under the Act or other law, so conduct wholly outside official duty, such as alleged assault in custody or wrongful confinement in a lock-up, is not covered.
