IPC Sections - Indian Penal Code 1860 Sections
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.
Provisions under the Indian Penal Code
Indian Penal Code has laid down as to what is a wrong and what is the punishment for committing such wrong. This Code consolidates the whole of the law on the subject and is exhaustive on the matters in respect of which it declares the law. A chapter-wise summary of the important provisions of the Code has been laid down as follows:
1. Chapter IV- General Exceptions
IPC recognizes defenses in chapter four under the heading ‘General Exceptions.’ Sections 76 to 106 of the IPC cover these defenses. The law offers certain defenses that protects a person from criminal liability. These defenses are based on the premise that though the person committed the offense, he cannot be held liable. This is because, at the time of the commission of the offense, either the prevailing circumstances were such that the act of the person was justified or his condition was such that he could not form the requisite mens rea (guilty intention) for the crime. The defenses are generally classified under two heads- justifiable and excusable. Thus, for committing a wrong, a person must be responsible for doing a wrongful act without having any justification or excuse for it.
2. Chapter V- Abetment
A crime may be committed by one or more persons involved in crime then their liability depends upon the extent of their participation. Thus this rule of joint liability comes into existence. But there is an important fact which is that the law has a knowledge about the abettor, who has given help to another in crime. This rule is very ancient and was applied in Hindu Law also. In English Law, criminals are divided in four categories, but in India there is only one distinction between the doer and his helper who is known as abettor. The crime of abetment come under section 107 to 120 of the IPC. Section 107 defines ‘abetment of a things’ and section l08 defines the abettor.
3. Chapter VI- Offences against the State
Chapter VI, Section 121 to Section 130 of the Indian Penal Code deals with offences against State. The Indian Penal Code 1860 has made provisions to safeguard and preserve State's existence and has provided the most severe punishment of the death sentence or life imprisonment and fine in case of offence against the state. This chapter includes offences like waging war, collecting arms to wage war, sedition, etc.
4. Chapter VIII- Offences against Public Tranquility
This Chapter explains the provisions about the offences against the public tranquility. This Chapter contains sections 141 to 160. The Unlawful Assembly, Rioting, Affray, etc., are the main offences.

What is the difference between Indian Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code?
The society is a group of people living together and the basic need of human being is peace and security. Though human nature is competitive and self-assertive, due to which conflicts in the society takes place disturbing the peace and harmony of the society. Thus, to stop the people from disturbing society’s peace and from indulging into any criminal activities, the Indian Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure were enacted during the British Raj in India, which prescribed punishments for the offences and laid down the procedure to be followed in a criminal case.
Indian Penal Code
Indian Penal Code is a substantive law. A substantive law is a law which defines rights and responsibilities in civil law, and crimes and punishments in criminal law. Therefore, Indian Penal Code is the law that states the punishable offences, along with their punishments or penalty or both. It explains all possible crimes and their related punishments. Under this code, the punishments are divided into five major sections, i.e. death, imprisonment for life, general imprisonment, forfeiture of property and fine.
Criminal Procedure Code
Criminal procedure Code is a procedural law. A procedural law is a law which lays down the set of procedures for enforcing substantive law. Therefore, Criminal Procedure Code is the law that describes the overall procedure which is to be followed while dealing with a criminal case. It deals with the set of rules that direct the series of proceedings, that take place during a criminal offence. It aims at setting up the necessary machinery for investigating cases, arresting criminals, presenting criminals before the courts, collecting evidence, imposing penalties or punishments on the accused, the entire procedure regarding bail, and so on.
The code classifies offences into two categories i.e. cognizable and non-cognizable. Cognizable offences are those offences for which a police officer may arrest without a warrant. Non-cognizable offences are, generally, relatively less serious offences than cognizable offences.

Can a statement amount to defamation if made against a dead person?
An imputation that is likely to harm the reputation of an individual had he/she been alive can amount to defamation, yes. Also, if the statement was intended to hurt feelings of family members of the dead person then it may amount to defamation
If a person hides first marriage and contracts second marriage, can an action be taken against him under IPC?
The offence known as ‘bigamy’ is committed when a person having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which marriage is void by reason of it taking place during the life of such husband or wife. Such person is punishable with imprisonment of either description up to seven years and fine. (Section 494 of IPC)
What specific provisions of law deal with domestic violence?
In 1983, domestic violence was recognized as a specific criminal offence by the introduction of section 498-A into the Indian Penal Code. This section deals with cruelty by a husband or his family towards a married woman. Four types of cruelty are dealt with by this law:
- Conduct that is likely to drive a woman to suicide,
- Conduct which is likely to cause grave injury to the life, limb or health of the woman,
- Harassment with the purpose of forcing the woman or her relatives to give some property, or
- Harassment because the woman or her relatives is unable to yield to demands for more money or does not give some property.
The punishment is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine. The complaint against cruelty need not be lodged by the person herself. Any relative may also make the complaint on her behalf.
What can be done in the case of dowry-related harassment or dowry death?
Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code covers dowry-related harassment. As with other provisions of criminal law, a woman can use the threat of going to court to deter this kind of harassment. The Indian Penal Code also addresses dowry deaths in section 304-B. If a woman dies of "unnatural causes" within seven years of marriage and has been harassed for dowry before her death, the Courts will assume that it is a case of dowry death. The husband or in-laws will then have to prove that their harassment was not the cause of her death. A dowry death is punishable by imprisonment of at least seven years. When filing an FIR (First Hand Report), in a case where a woman is suspected to have been murdered after a history of torture due to dowry demands, the complaint should be filed under section 304-B rather than under section 306, which deals with abetment to suicide. Section 306 should be invoked when a woman commits suicide because of dowry-related harassment.
Can you refuse to have sex with your husband? Is there a law on marital rape?
Since India does not have a law on marital rape, even if a woman's husband has sexual intercourse with her without her consent, he cannot be prosecuted for rape. However, excessive and unreasonable demands for sex, or demands for unnatural sex have been considered forms of cruelty and may entitle a woman to a divorce.
If a woman is judicially separated, her husband cannot have sexual intercourse with her without her consent. If he does, he can be prosecuted under section 376-A of the IPC. Note that consent under pressure (e.g. because of threats to injure or to stop paying maintenance) is not considered valid.
