Hello my dear fellow Indians !!!

I had a thought of making myself exposed to the various sections of The Indian Penal Code under which the suspects are filed cases and punished.

I believe it is a duty and honour for every Indian to know atleast some of the important sections of the law. This may help you somewhere,sometime or to somebody facing  a critical situation in the society.

Evolution of IPC

The Indian Penal Code is a gadget which has almost all the acts and sections happening in the society. It started the evolution in British colonial legislation from 1860. Hence the name Indian Penal Code 1860.

The first draft of IPC was prepared by First Law Commission under Lord Macaulay. The draft  is then passed to various reviews of Sir Barnes Peacock, Chief Justice, and puisne Judges of the Calcutta Supreme Court. They were the of  The Indian Legislative Council, and was passed into law in 1860.

But to the bad fortune of Lord Macaulay he did not survive to see his masterpiece enacted into a law.

The Indian Penal Code came into force in 1862  and is regularly amended.
The IPC has 511 sections which covers various aspects of the Criminal Law.

 In the following topics you will know some of the important Indian Penal Code sections in brief.
