	Indian Penal Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indian Penal Code (IPC) provides a penal code for all of India including Jammu and Kashmir, where it was renamed the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC).
		Indian Penal Code came into force in 1862 (during the British Raj) and is regularly amended, such as to include section 498-A. The code contains several sections related to dowry law in India.
		The Indian Penal Code was inherited by Pakistan and Bangladesh, formerly part of British India.

	Section 377 of the Singapore Penal Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was incorporated by the British colonial administration in the late 1850s, in particular by Lord Thomas Macaulay who drafted the Indian Penal Code to replace Hindu criminal law which had hitherto held sway in the greater part of India.
		Section 377 became effective as part of the new British-imposed Indian Penal Code from January 1, 1862, and was adopted by the colonial masters, also as Section 377 into the Straits Settlements Penal Code in 1871.
		Both sections were absorbed unchanged into the Singapore Penal Code when the latter was passed by Singapore's Legislative Council on January 28, 1955.

		Section 307(3) of the Code by empowering the High Court either to acquit or convict the accused after considering the entire evidence, giving due weight to the opinions of the Sessions Judge and the jury, virtually conferred the functions both of the jury and the Judge on it.
		80 of the Indian Penal Code is on the prosecution.
		300 of the Indian Penal Code, the question "whether the provocation was grave and sudden enough to prevent the offence from amounting to murder is one of fact", and therefore, unlike in England, in India both the aforesaid questions fall entirely within the scope of the jury and they are for them to decide.

		The punishment of transportation under the IPC depending on the particular offence could be for life or for a term (of years) and involved the convict being sent into banishment to an appointed place or locality[2] or into exile[3] to such places commonly known as Penal Settlements.
		Ordinarily therefore a sentence of 10 years' rigorous imprisonment is regarded by the Code as the equivalent of a sentence of transportation for life, the reason being no doubt that the conditions attending transportation were expected to be less arduous than those of a convict undergoing rigorous imprisonment.
		Section 58 of the Indian Penal Code no doubt provides that any convict sentenced to transportation may, until he is transported, be dealt with in the same manner as if sentenced to rigorous imprisonment; but it is sufficiently clear that such rigorous imprisonment was intended to be temporary.

		For, example, the Indian Penal Code covers all acts of larceny, without any limitations regarding the means by which the larceny is committed.
		It can be argued that the use of fraud in obtaining computer services could be covered by the Penal Code; however, to the extent that intangible "goods" are being received or altered or the means of access to the services is through cyberspace, the applicability of the Penal Code is unclear.
		As indicated in the commentary to Section 49, the Indian Penal Code already provides for penalties in the case of many criminal acts without regard to whether a computer is involved.

		From the definition of document in section 29 of the Indian Penal Code, it becomes clear that a document is the matter described or expressed, and not the substance upon which it is so described or expressed.
		In subsequent amendments of the various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, it will be seen that wherever the word “document(s)” occurs, it is substituted by “document(s) or electronic record(s)”.
		Whoever commits forgery, intending that the document or electronic record forged shall harm the reputation of any party, or knowing that it is likely to be used for that purpose, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine.

	Indian Govt's view on homosexuality
		Naz Foundation, an NGO working for the welfare of AIDS patients, has challenged the validity of this provision and sought to legalise homosexuality on the grounds that due to fear of police action, consenting adult males having sexual relations were not coming forward to disclose their problems though they were more prone to HIV infection.
		"Indian society by and large disapproves of homosexuality and the disapproval is strong enough to justify it being treated as a criminal offence even where adults indulge in it in private," the government said citing the Law Commission's 42nd report.
		Studies of the criminal jurisprudence of section 377 of the IPC reveals that in India it has been basically used to punish sexual abuse of children and to compliment lacunae in the rape laws.

		Before analyzing the specific provisions of the IPC, it is important to remember the distinction in the usage of 'he' by the IPC in contrast with,man' and 'woman'.
		A comparison of the penal, procedural and evidentiary provisions relating to Sections 498-A and 304-B shows that the state has followed the policy of symbolic intervention in the private sphere of family at the request of the woman aggrieved by severely injurious conduct of her husband or his relatives.
		Section 375 fourthly of the IPC reads" with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband, that her consent is given because she believes that he is another man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married.

	India Moves Closer to Abandoning the Death Penalty
		In a proposed amendment to its penal code, Indian leaders are seeking to implement a change that would end the nation's death penalty even "in the rarest of rare" cases.
		The amended Indian Penal Code would abolish the death penalty and replace it with a strict life without the possibility of parole measure.
		The proposed amendment was crafted to reflect an "evolving consensus" within the nation. The proposal to abolish the death penalty and add a true life sentence seeks to serve the twin objectives of advancing human rights and preventing such criminals from coming out of prison.
