The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the primary criminal code of India, which came into force in 1862. It is a comprehensive code that deals with various aspects of criminal law, including offenses against the state, offenses against the person, offenses against property, and other miscellaneous offenses. The IPC has undergone several amendments over the years to keep pace with the changing needs of society. One such significant development is the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which aim to replace the IPC and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), respectively.
