DEC 25 (WTN) - You must have heard many times about IPC and CRPC, but do you know the difference between IPC and CRPC, if you don’t know, then we describe you what is the difference between these two?
Every citizen of India should have basic information about the laws of the country. Every citizen must have at least some knowledge about which punishment applies to which crime and which is the code works for the punishment of any crime. The IPC i.e. Indian Penal Code and CRPC i.e. Criminal Procedure Code is taken in the process of getting any kind of crime in India and up to the punishment for that crime.
The Indian Penal Code is also called Taj Irat-i-Hind in Urdu. You may have seen in the movies that when the judge sentences in court, it is said that punishment is given to be hang till death under Taj-i-Hind-Dafa 302. Taj Irat-e-Hind means the Indian Penal Code or the IPC.
There are total 23 chapters and 511 sections in the IPC. The draft of the IPC was prepared under the chairmanship of the first law commission made in the country whose chairperson was Lord Macaulay. The IPC has been implemented since 1862. The IPC law is applicable in all the countries except Kashmir. In the Jammu and Kashmir RPC i.e. 'Ranbir Punj Code’ is applicable.
The main objective of implementing the IPC was to apply the same type of law across India so that there should be a single crime code in place of different regional laws. At the same time, the CRPC was passed in 1973 and it came into effect from 1 April 1974.
Difference between IPC and CRPC
For your information, let you know that the IPC enlightens about the crime and classifies them, and gives information about what will be the punishment for each and what the penalty will be. At the same time, there are two types of procedures which the police take to investigate any offense after having committed any kind of crime. One procedure is related to the victim and the other is related to the accused. These procedures have been reported about CRPC.
That is, the IPC defines the definition of crime and provides the provision of punishment, along with it lists various crimes and their punishment. At the same time, the CRPC describes about the procedures for the criminal case, how the criminal can be arrested and how to one can get bail.
For example, if someone steals, then under section 379 of the IPC, he may be jailed for three years as well as will be fined, even if there is theft in a house or in the building or any premises; then the IPC section 380 rules 7 years of jail to the culprit. That is, the full details of the determination of the sentence and the punishment of the sentence is described in the IPC.
Now the thief has stolen, but now there will be process to catch the thief, i.e. how the criminal will be arrested, how the evidence of crime will be collected, how will bail be granted, where the application for bail has to be applied, the accused determination of crime or innocence are all jobs of the police, which come under the CRPC. In brief, after the crime, the complete information about the investigation, trial, arrest, bail, inquiries etc. are describe in the CRPC, while there is a provision for the conviction and punishment of the crime that is described in the IPC.
