		Dacoity is not confined to a certain offence; it is a crime which suggests heinous and unusual culprit.
		Dacoity could be done by only one act, but such an act may entail grave consequences.
		If punishments are prescribed for certain offences, and though only in rare cases these punishments are more severe, punishment for minor offences could be more severe if the judge finds this necessary, because in minor offences, the punishment and the gravity of the crime are left to the judge to decide.
