Indian Penal Code (IPC): On the recommendations of the first law commission of India, which was established in 1834 under the Charter Act of 1833, and under the chairmanship lord Macaulay, IPC was drafted in 1860. The Code went into effect on January 1, 1862, during British rule, and was applicable to entire then-British India, with the exception of the princely states, which had their own courts and legal systems until the 1940s.
The Indian Penal Code is the main criminal code for the country. It includes all criminal offenses including crimes related to human body, property, conspiracy, crimes against the state or Public Tranquillity, etc. Anyone found guilty of a crime is punishable under the IPC.
