Cirminal Trial-Public Servant accepting valuable things for securing export permit-'Subord-inate', Meaning of-If means functionally subordinate--Inrlian Penal Code, 1860 (Act 45 of 1860), s. 165. The word 'subordinate' used without any qualification in;s. 165 of the Indian Penal Code indicates that the Legis· lature intended to include within its ambit also such subor· dinates as had no connection with the functions with which the proceeding or business was concerned. That word cannot be read as •functionally subordinate' so as to defeat the inten tion and policy of the Legislature.
