1.1 CRIMECrime, as we might believe, is a salient fact that is part of our daily lives. Both the legal and the layman believe that crime is associated with the harm and destruction of people and property. It is true that crime and criminals are viewed with the greatest hatred in all walks of life, but it is also true that the study and research of the law of crimes has always been one of the branches the most interesting of jurisprudence since the first years of human civilization. In any organized society, certain acts are prohibited and their execution may result in sanctions of one nature or another. When one person injured another and the harm could be adequately compensated by monetary value, the wrongdoer was required to pay damages or compensation to the injured person. But in some cases, apart from the obligation to pay compensation, the state imposes certain sanctions on the offender with the aim of preserving peace in society and promoting good behavior towards each other and towards the community at large (Indian Penal Code). , 2009). But the problem usually arises when it comes to deciding which acts or acts should be punished by the law of the society or state, that is, which acts should be classified as "crimes" . According to Terrance Morris (Changing concepts of Crime and its Treatment): “Crime is what society considers to be a crime by establishing that an act constitutes a violation of the criminal law. Without law there can be no crime, although there may be moral indignation which results in the adoption of a law. » The concept or definition of crime has always depended on public opinion and more than any other branch of law, criminal law is the mirror of public opinion. So the law is... middle of paper ... a procedure to follow. In 1834, the first Indian Law Commission was constituted to inquire into the jurisdiction, powers and rules of the existing courts as well as the police. establishments and laws in force in British India. The Indian Penal Code was drafted by the first Indian Law Commission under the chairmanship of Macaulay and was submitted to the Governor General of India in Council in 1837. It was distributed to judges and legal advisers to the Crown. In 1845, another commission was appointed to revise the Code. This Commission submitted its report in two parts, one in 1846 and the other in 1847. The Code was revised according to the Commission's report but it never saw the light of day. Subsequently, it was revised by two members of the Law of the Governor General of India in Council and was presented to the Legislative Council in 1856.
