Indian Penal Code, 1860

Section 448

repealed

Punishment for house-trespass

Why this exists

Because house-trespass involves intruding into a dwelling, place of worship, or place where property is stored, rather than just open land, this section sets a noticeably higher punishment than plain criminal trespass, reflecting the greater sense of violation and risk involved when someone's home or sacred space is entered without permission.
