Hello friends before knowing about the all sections of IPC, here I will introduce to you that What is IPC (Indian Penal Code) and when it come in existence.

 

What is IPC ?

 

IPC refers to Indian Penal Code. This law was passed in the year 1860. It tells us what is the crime committed by the offender and how much punishment/penalty is prescribed for it. In Urdu the IPC is also called as Taj-Irat-E-Hind. You have often seen in the movies that when a judge in a court sentences a criminal, he says that (Dafa 302 ke tahat muljim ko fansi ki saja dee jaati hai) or  the death sentence is given under the Taj-irat-e-Hind 302, it is nothing but the Indian Penal Code and Dafa means Dhara or Seksan. 

 

In total there are 511 Sections and 23 chapters in the IPC i.e. the IPC is divided into a total of 23 chapters. The IPC is the world's largest criminal collection, that is, there is no other criminal law in the country larger than I.P.C. This is applicable in the entire country except Kashmir.

 

If we try to understand the IPC through example, then the IPC itself will determine whether an incident is theft, loot or robbery, suppose if two people break into someone's house at night no matter how much cash, jewelry or other, they taken away it will be called theft and if two persons take cash, jewelry or other valuables from the house by showing weapons and intimidating the members of the house on the basis of illegal weapon, then it will be called loot and assume that if the same incident is done by 5 persons, it would be robbery, because five or more persons are written in the definition of robbery in the IPC.  In the IPC itself, there is also a provision for imprisonment/punishment and fine for different period for theft, loot and robbery.
