Section 82 of IPC : Section 82: Act Of A Child Under Seven Years Of Age

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a 6-year-old child, unaware of the consequences, picks up a permanent marker and scribbles on a neighbor's car causing damage to the paint. Under Section 82 of The Indian Penal Code, the act committed by the child would not be considered an offence due to the child's age being under seven years. Therefore, the child would not be legally held responsible for the damage.
