Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act came into effect in 1984. However, the notice has erroneously written &#8216;1985&#8217;. The Act has provisions that cover punishment for causing damage to public property. <a href=\"https:\/\/legislative.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/H198403.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the Act<\/a>, public property is defined as any property which is owned by, or in the possession of, or under the control of the Central Government; any State government; any local authority; any corporation established by or under any Central, Provincial or State Act; any company or any institution. Damage to this property is punishable by imprisonment of at least one year or a fine. There is also a provision for bail in this legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The Act talks about punishing offenders for causing damage to any public property, not just mosques.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. IPC Section 427<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/222396\/#:~:text=427.,with%20fine%2C%20or%20with%20both.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As per Section 427<\/a>, individuals who commit mischief and thereby cause loss or damage to the amount of Rs 50 or more would be punished under this section with a jail term which may extend to two years and\/or a fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How are laws framed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nios.ac.in\/media\/documents\/SrSec338New\/338_Introduction_To_Law_Hindi\/338_Introduction_To_Law_Hindi_L22.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legislative Assembly<\/a> has the power to draft laws on 66 subjects in the State List. Apart from this, it can also introduce legislation on 47 subjects on the Concurrent List. However, these cannot be in contradiction with laws made by the Parliament. In such cases, only the law made by the Parliament would be in effect.<\/p>\n<p>Any bill passed by the State government is sent to the governor and passed after his approval.<\/p>\n<p>There have been no reports on such a bill being introduced or any such Act being passed in the Rajasthan Assembly. Neither is there any information to corroborate the claims in the viral image on the <a href=\"https:\/\/rajassembly.nic.in\/hi\/LegislationGovernmentBillsH.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rajasthan Legislative Assembly website<\/a>.
