At the time this code was drafted, Great Britain's Indian colonies were governed by the private East India Company. In many cases, its regulations concerning criminal acts conflicted with Muslim law, law Hindu law and English common law. In 1834 the company established an Indian Law Commission to address this situation through the creation of a penal code. This commission was directed by Thomas Babington Macaulay [1800-1859], a British colonialist, Member of Parliament and author of many renowned works, including the History of England. Written mostly by Macaulay, the commission's code was deeply influenced by the works of Jeremy Bentham, Edward Livingston and the Code Napoleon. This volume is a reprint of the London reprint of the Calcutta edition of the original text issued by the Indian Law Commission, October 14, 1837.viii, 138 pp.

Հեղինակի մասին (2002)

Thomas Babington Macaulay was born in Leicestershire, England on October 25, 1800. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge University. He became a lawyer, but continued to be interested in politics. He became a member of Parliament and rose to the peerage in 1857. Although he held a number of important cabinet posts, the effects of his sweeping educational reform, while in India, are his most enduring contribution to the Whig government. His main literary work was his multi-volume The History of England. He died on December 28, 1859.
