Plain-English Summary — Not Verbatim Statutory Text
When five or more people jointly commit or attempt a robbery, every person so involved is guilty of "dacoity" — a distinct, more serious offence than robbery by one or a few people.
The number of people involved in an armed/violent robbery changes the legal category and the severity of punishment that applies.
