Pakistan Penal Code Majmua Tazirate-e-Pakistan [URDU Bare-Act]

Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (Majmua Tazirat-e-Pakistan) — Bare Act
The Foundational Criminal Code of Pakistan

Nearly every criminal case in Pakistan — from theft and assault to the most serious offences against the state — ultimately traces back to a single foundational statute. The Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (Majmua Tazirat-e-Pakistan) — Bare Act provides the complete, current statutory text defining crimes and prescribing punishments across the country, published by Mansoor Law Book House.

Why This Bare Act is Essential

Originally enacted in 1860 as the primary criminal statute for the subcontinent and adopted by Pakistan after independence, the PPC remains the cornerstone of criminal law, spanning 23 chapters and more than 500 sections that define specific offences and their corresponding punishments. Its provisions have been amended over the decades — including through the Hudood Ordinances, anti-terrorism laws, and women's protection legislation — making the Code a living, continually evolving statute that touches virtually every criminal case, dispute, and prosecution in the country.
