Indian Penal Code Overview
The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the primary criminal code of India, enacted in 1860. It defines criminal offenses and prescribes penalties for violations. Drafted under the guidance of Thomas Babington Macaulay, the IPC addresses a wide range of crimes and their legal consequences. It serves as the cornerstone of criminal law in India, outlining offenses, punishments, and procedures. The IPC undergoes amendments to adapt to evolving legal and societal norms, reflecting the ongoing efforts to maintain a just and effective legal framework in the country.
