The Indian Penal Code came into existence in 1862 under the leadership of Lord Macaulay during British Rule. It is the main criminal code of India. IPC is the main structure or you can say the skeleton of Indian criminal judiciary system. An individual usually encounter it either in reports given by news channels or when he himself gets in to the trouble or any sort of criminal case drawing IPC sections. So it is important that one should know all about these sections.

Blessing in disguise of the IPC. The IPC has been so vague that even modern crimes that require the use of technology fit into the offences listed so there is no need to bring about further amendments in the Penal code.
Indian Penal Code or IPC defines various crimes and their punishments. Thus it is very important to know the IPC. It is the backebone of criminal law in India. IPC was made in 1860 and it was made in such a way that it contains every crime possible, although many amendments have been made since its time of commencement and adding 498-A was one of such amendments. It is the most basic law of Indian Judiciary.
