Explanation.It is immaterial whether the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860) is or is not in force in the place where the coercion is employed.

A afterwards sues B for breach of contract at Calcutta. A has employed coercion, although his act is not an offence by the law of England, and although section 506 of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860) was not in force at the time when or place where the act was done.

If B sues on this bond, the Court may set the bond aside.

The Court may set the bond aside, ordering B to repay the Rs.100 with such interest as may seem just.] ______________________ 1. Inserted by Act 6 of 1899, section 3.
