India - Penal Code 1860
Inde - Code pénal 1860


"To compare the Indian Penal Code with English Criminal Law is like comparing cosmos with chaos. Any intelligent person interested in the subject could get a very distinct and correct notion of Indian Criminal Law in a few hours from the Penal Code." (Lester Lelan, "Law and the Study of Law", (1878) 13(1) The Canadian Monthly and National Review 190-201, at 199; available at http://books.google.com/books?id=aWIOAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA199&dq=criminal+law+%22james+f.+stephen%22+date:0-1950&lr=&as_brr=3&as_pt=ALLTYPES#PPA199,M1)

It is customary to speak as if Indian codification had taken its rise with Macaulay, and to regard the Indian Penal Code as his work. Macaulay was unquestionably an eloquent mouthpiece for the principles of codification laid down by Bentham. But he marks only one stage, and by no means the most active and fruitful stage, of the work. The Indian Penal Code was the result of the labours of thirty years, during which it passed through the hands of many distinguished jurists. In the form in which it ultimately became law, it bears more of the impress of the exact judicial mind of Sir Barnes Peacock than of the discursive genius of Lord Macaulay.

Indian codification may be divided into two periods. The first embraces the thirty years from Macaulay to Maine. The second begins with the labours of Maine, and ends during the present month of April with the retirement of Mr. Whitley Stokes." (p. 587)
