.............................................................................................................................
Description
The Indian Penal Code is one of the most spectacular and unique Penal Law Code entailing a number of crimes, their scope, nature and punishments thereof. It is best taken care in the hands of the Judiciary, law practitioners, academicians, students and varied law learners. The Indian Penal Code indirectly owes its origin to Jeremy Bentham, who is a well-known jurist on the subject of law reforms. The Indian Penal Code was originally drafted by Lord Macaulay and his two member colleagues, Mr. Millet and Sir John M'Leod way back in 1833. After a series of revision, it was finally codified in 1860 and brought into force in 1862. The Code was primarily aimed at bringing to an end the multiplicity of criminal law jurisdictions that prevailed in India at that time and introducing a uniform law of crimes.
