The people belonging to the armed forces play a crucial role by keeping their life at stake to protect their own nation. So, any offences made against or using armed forces members causes a major impact on our motherland. In order to eradicate such offences, a prohibitive method is constituted under our Indian Penal Code from section 131- 140. These provision lays down the punishment for abetting, seducing and desertion.
A normal civilian is restricted from prohibited from handling weapons that causes mass destruction, but there are cases where terrorists either directly manufacture or make dealings with makers and use these weapons to destroy their enemy country. For prevention of manufacturing the Indian government have constituted the law, THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THEIR DELIVERY SYSTEMS (PROHIBITION OF UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES) ACT, in 2005. This Act prohibits manufacturing, sale, transferring or usage of weapons that creates mass destruction. The paper revolves around the offences that are committed against armed forces and restriction on circulation and use of mass destruction causing weapons.
