About Criminal Law

Criminal law in India is designed to punish offenders, protect victims, and uphold the rule of law. The legal framework is primarily governed by:
• The Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) – Defines criminal offenses and penalties.
• The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) – Establishes procedural aspects of criminal trials and investigations.
• Criminal Law Amendment Acts (1932, 1938, 1961, 1983, 2013, 2018) – Strengthen penalties for offenses such as sexual harassment, domestic violence, and organized crime.
