The Pakistan Penal Code or PPC is the basis of all legislations in Pakistan. It was instituted in 1860 by the Government of British India as the Indian Penal Code. With the partition of India in 1947, the new country inherited the same code and subsequently made several amendments making it more religiously oriented.
