395. Punishment for dacoity

Whoever commits dacoity shall be punished with 152[imprisonment for life], or with rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

Legal Notes & Explanations: Under 395 IPC, committing dacoity is punishable with imprisonment for life or rigorous imprisonment up to ten years. In criminal trials under 395 IPC, 395 IPC offences correspond to Section 310(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, where 395 IPC trials enforce strict penalties under 395 IPC jurisprudence for aggravated robbery under section 395, making 395 IPC a severe offence under 395.
