Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Whereas it is appropriate to designate a time frame for the enforcement of fines, which includes the attachment of claims over property to cover the fines, for the sake of clarity; and whereas the provisions of the Penal Code which relate to the rates of fine are still not consistent with the economic and social condition of the Country at present, making it appropriate to improve the said provisions in line with the prevailing situation; and [whereas] it is appropriate to improve [the provisions on] the offences which carry other criminal punishments than fine by making them punishable by fine also; therefore, it is necessary to enact this Act.
