Section 394 of IPC : Section 394: Voluntarily Causing Hurt In Committing Robbery

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where two individuals, A and B, plan to rob a local jewelry store. During the robbery, A, while trying to snatch a necklace from the store owner, causes the owner a minor injury by pushing him to the ground. Even though B did not directly cause the injury, both A and B can be charged under Section 394 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. This section applies because A voluntarily caused hurt while committing the robbery, and B was jointly involved in the attempt. They could face a life sentence, up to ten years of rigorous imprisonment, and may also be fined.
