IPC-The Indian Penal Code

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the principal criminal code of India that defines crimes and provides punishments for almost all kinds of criminal and actionable wrongs. The IPC extends to the whole of India except the states of Jammu and Kashmir and is an extensive law that covers all the substantive aspects of criminal law from nuisance at public places to murder, rape, dacoity, etc.

Brief History of IPC

The IPC came into existence in 1860 on recommendations of the first law commission of India established in 1834 under the Charter Act of 1833. The Code was made effective during the British rule in January 1, 1862 and was applicable to the whole of the then British India except the princely states as they had their own courts and legal systems till 1940s.
The Code was later adopted by the Independent India and Pakistan after partition. The Ranbir Penal Code applicable in Jammu and Kashmir is also based on this Code. It is applicable to all the citizens of India. The IPC has been amended numerous times since then and is now supplemented by various other criminal provisions. At present, the IPC is divided into 23 chapters and contains 511 sections in total.

आईपीसी भारतीय दंड संहिता

आईपीसी, 1860 (भारतीय दंड संहिता) एक व्यापक कानून है जो भारत में आपराधिक कानून के वास्तविक पहलुओं को शामिल करता है। यह जम्मू-कश्मीर को छोड़कर पूरे भारत में लागू है। यह अपराधों को बताता है और उनमें से प्रत्येक के लिए सजा और जुर्माना बताता है।

संक्षिप्त इतिहास

1833 के चार्टर एक्ट के तहत 1834 में स्थापित भारत के पहले कानून आयोग की सिफारिशों पर भारतीय दंड संहिता (आई.पी.सी.) 1860 में अस्तित्व में आया। यह कोड 1 जनवरी, 1862 में ब्रिटिश शासन के दौरान प्रभावी किया गया था और पूरे तत्कालीन अंग्रेजों के लिए लागू था। भारत रियासतों को छोड़कर 1940 के दशक तक उनकी अपनी अदालतें और कानूनी प्रणालियाँ थीं।

विभाजन के बाद कोड को बाद में स्वतंत्र भारत और पाकिस्तान द्वारा अपनाया गया था। जम्मू और कश्मीर में लागू रणबीर दंड संहिता भी इसी संहिता पर आधारित है। यह भारत के सभी नागरिकों के लिए लागू है। तब से आई.पी.सी. में कई बार संशोधन किया गया है और अब इसे विभिन्न अन्य आपराधिक प्रावधानों के द्वारा पूरक बनाया गया है। वर्तमान में, आई.पी.सी. 23 अध्यायों में विभाजित है और इसमें कुल 511 खंड हैं।
