79. Protection of members and officers of the relevant authority from suit or prosecution

No liability, whether civil or criminal, shall attach to any member or officer of the relevant authority or to any officer authorized by such member or officer, for anything which in good faith is done in the performance or exercise of any function or power imposed or assigned to such relevant authority under this Act.

Any expenses incurred by the relevant authority in any suit or prosecution brought by or against the relevant authority before any court, shall be paid out of the Fund of the relevant authority and any cost paid to or recovered by the relevant authority in any such suit or prosecution, shall be credited to the Fund of the relevant authority.

Any expenses incurred by a member or officer of the relevant authority or by any officer authorized by any such member or officer, as the case may be, in any suit or prosecution brought against him before any court in respect of any act which is done by him under this Act shall, if the court holds that such act was done in good faith, be paid out of the Fund of the relevant authority, unless such expenses are recovered by him in such suit or prosecution.
