गटाने घरफोडी केली असता फक्त ज्याने प्रत्यक्ष इजा केली त्यालाच सर्वात कडक शिक्षा मिळते.

रात्री घरफोडी झाली आणि गटातील कोणत्याही सदस्याने मृत्यू किंवा गंभीर दुखापत केली, तर त्या घरफोडीत संयुक्तपणे सहभागी प्रत्येकावर समान कडक शिक्षा लागू होऊ शकते, अशी या कायद्याची तरतूद आहे.

पडताळणी प्रलंबित

हे का आहे

ही तरतूद घरात शिरका-शिरकी व घरफोडीबाबत टप्प्याटप्प्याने वाढणाऱ्या शिक्षांचा आराखडा देते, कारण गुन्ह्याचा वेळ, त्याचा उद्देश आणि त्याचे परिणाम यांवरून धोक्याची पातळी व दोषारोप मोठ्या प्रमाणात बदलतात. रात्रीच्या घुसखोरी अधिक धोकादायक मानल्या जातात कारण पीडित सहसा झोपेत व असुरक्षित असतात; आणि ही शिडी वास्तव नुकसान व जोखीम यानुसार शिक्षा वाढवत नेते—गंभीर दुखापत किंवा मृत्यू झालेल्या प्रकरणांपर्यंत.
