23. Amendment of section 36 of the principal enactment

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Section 36 of the principal enactment is hereby amended in subsection (2) of that section by the substitution for the words “punishable by a fine not less than five thousand rupees and not exceeding one hundred thousand rupees or by imprisonment for a term not less than three months and not exceeding two years” of the words

“punishable by imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or by a fine not less than rupees ten thousand and not exceeding one hundred thousand rupees”.
