Indian Penal Code, 1860

Section 450

repealed

House-trespass in order to commit offence punishable with imprisonment for life

Why this exists

This section fills the gap just below section 449, covering house-trespass done to prepare for crimes that are extremely serious, though not punishable by death, such as certain forms of grievous harm. It shows how the law scales the punishment for trespass according to how serious the intended crime behind it is.
