Penal Code (Amendment) Bill

The Penal Code (Amendment) Bill seeks to repeal section 377A of the Penal Code 1871. It includes consequential amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, the Evidence Act 1893, and the Penal Code 1871 to reflect this repeal. The Bill preserves the application of section 425A of the Criminal Procedure Code for offenses committed under section 377A prior to its repeal. The legislation will not result in any additional public expenditure.
