BNS Section 16-Act Done Pursuant To Judgement Or Order Of Court

Nothing which is done in pursuance of, or which is warranted by the judgement or order of, a Court; if done whilst such judgement or order remains in force, is an offence, notwithstanding the Court may have had no jurisdiction to pass such judgement or order, provided the person doing the act in good faith believes that the Court had such jurisdiction.
