Objects and Reasons
Section 292 of Act 8 of 19521 was amended by Act 36 of 1969. The objects and reason laid down by the Parliament for the amendment states as;
"Under the present sec.292 and sec.293 of the Indian Penal Code, there is a danger of publication meant for public good or for bonafide purpose of science, literature, art or any other branch of learning being declared as obscene literature as there is no specific provision in the act for exempting them from operations of those sections. The Act removes that lacuna so as to bring the law into conformity with modern practice in other civilized countries."
