CHAPTER IX.

Powers and duties ofofficers and procedure.

115. Magistrate’s power to impose enhanced penalties. वाढीव दंड बसविण्याचा दंडाधिका-याचा अधिकार.

Notwithstanding anything contained in section 32 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, * it shall be lawful fbr any Presidency Magistrate or any Magistrate of the First Class to pass any sentence authorized by this Act in exercise of his powers under section 32 of the said Code, provided that the fine shall not exceed three thousand rupees.]

फौजदारी प्रक्रिया संहिता, 1898 च्या कलम 32 मध्ये काहीही अंतर्भूत केलेले असले तरी, इलाखा शहर दंडाधिका-यास किंवा पहिल्या वर्गाच्या कोणत्याही दंडाधिका-यास, उक्त संहितेच्या कलम 32 अन्वये त्यांना असलेल्या कोणत्याही अधिकाराव्यतिरिक्त आणखी या अधिनियमान्वये प्राधिकृत केलेली कोणतीही शिक्षा देता येईल व त्यांनी तसे करावे हे कायदेशीर असेल; परंतु दंडाची रक्कम तीन हजार रुपयांहून अधिक असणार नाही.

सोपी मराठी (सरळ भाषेत स्पष्टीकरण)
थोडक्यात: दंडाधिकारी दारूच्या कायद्याचे उल्लंघन केल्यावर ₹3,000 पर्यंत दंड लादू शकतात.

विस्तार:

• **कोण लादू करतो?** — इलाखा शहर दंडाधिकारी किंवा पहिल्या वर्गाचे दंडाधिकारी हे दंड लादू करतात.

• **कितपर्यंत दंड?** — दारूचे कायदेभंग केल्यास जास्तीत जास्त ₹3,000 दंड देता येतो. याहून अधिक रक्कम दंड देता येत नाही.

• **कायदेशीरता काय?** — फौजदारी प्रक्रिया संहितेचे नियम असले तरी, या दारूचा कायदा आणखी कठोर शिक्षा देण्याचा अधिकार दंडाधिकार्याला देतो.

• **सरल उदाहरण:** जर कोणी बिनलाईसन्स दारू विकत असेल किंवा पिऊन मद्यधर्म अवस्थेत फिरत असेल, तर दंडाधिकारी त्याला ₹3,000 पर्यंत दंड लादू करू शकतो.

• **याचा अर्थ:** दारू पकडण्यात दंडाधिकार्याला मोठा अधिकार आहे आणि कठोर शिक्षा देता येते.
