Bare Acts › Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC)

Section 32

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

"Words referring to acts include illegal omissions

The IPC 1860 was replaced by the BNS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 32 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 358, BNS 2023).

In every part of this Code, except where a contrary intention appears from the context, words which refer to acts done extend also to illegal omissions.
