IPC Section 77 — Act of Judge when acting judicially

Summary

If a Judge does something while performing their judicial duties, and that action is within a power that the law actually gives them, or that they honestly believe the law gives them, then that action is not considered an offence. This protection applies only when the Judge is acting in their official judicial capacity.

Official Text

Nothing is an offence which is done by a Judge when acting judicially in the exercise of any power which is, or which in good faith he believes to be, given to him by law.
