Indian Penal Code, 1860 · Chapter XVIII: Of Offences Relating to Documents and to Property Marks · Of property and other marks
Section 479: Property mark
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 was repealed and replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 from 1 July 2024. It still applies to offences and proceedings from before that date.
A mark used for denoting that movable property belongs to a particular person is called a property mark.
Corresponding sections were matched by comparing the wording of both official texts, and for the IPC and BNS, also against a published correspondence table. Wording, punishments and structure often changed, so read both sections before relying on the match.
