74A. Powers of Court
Where, in the course of proceedings in relation to an election petition or
to a prosecution for an offence under this Act, it is not established that an
act or omission which would, but for this section, be an offence of illegal
practice under Part IV or V of this Act, did not arise from inadvertence or
any other reasonable cause or did arise from want of good faith, the Court
shall not find the act or omission to be a breach of Part IV or V relating to an
illegal practice, and no person shall be subject to any of the consequences
that might otherwise follow from the act or omission.
