Section 156 - Persons deemed to be public servants

Section 156 - Definition of Public Servants under the Act

Section 156 specifies that anyone carrying out duties as per the Act is considered a public servant. This classification aligns with the definition provided in section 21 of the Indian Penal Code.

This designation is important because it subjects these individuals to the rules and obligations applicable to public servants under Indian law.
