FAQs

What is the administrative intent of making offenders ‘nirviṣaya’ here?

To ensure the offender cannot retain the benefit of misappropriation and to prevent repeat offence by stripping resources/standing that enable further wrongdoing.

What modern policy analogue does this resemble?

Asset forfeiture plus administrative disqualification (loss of eligibility/position) for proven misappropriation.
