Section 397 of IPC : Section 397: Robbery, Or Dacoity, With Attempt To Cause Death Or Grievous Hurt

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a group of individuals plan to rob a bank. During the robbery, one of the robbers brandishes a gun, which qualifies as a deadly weapon. Even if no one is physically harmed, the mere use of the gun during the robbery elevates the crime to a more serious level under Section 397 of The Indian Penal Code. Consequently, if caught and convicted, the robber with the gun would face a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison due to the application of this section.
