The word "kidnapping" has been derived from the word 'kid' meaning child and 'napping' to steal. Thus, the word literally means "child stealing". Kidnapping under the code is not confined to child stealing. It has been given wider connotation as meaning carrying away of a human being against his/her consent, or the consent of some person legally authorised to accord consent on behalf of such person.
Kidnapping is of two kinds: kidnapping from India, and kidnapping from lawful guardianship. Section 360 of the Indian Penal Code deals with kidnapping from India. Whoever conveys any person beyond the limits of India without the consent of that person, or of some person legally authorised to consent on behalf of that person, is said to kidnap that person from India.
Section 361 of the Indian Penal Code deals with kidnapping from lawful guardianship. Whoever takes or entices any minor under sixteen years of age if a male, or under eighteen years of age of a female, out of the keeping of the lawful guardian of such minor, without the consent of such guardian, is said to kidnap such minor or person from lawful guardianship. This section does not extend to the act of any person who in good faith believes himself to be the father of an illegitimate child, or who in good faith believes himself to be entitled to the lawful custody of such child, unless such act is committed for an immoral or unlawful purpose.
Abduction in common language means carrying away of a person by fraud or force. Whoever by force compels, or by any deceitful means induces, any person to go from any place, is said to abduct that person.
In view of the definition, the word 'force' connotes actual force and not merely show or threat of force. Whoever kidnaps any person from India or from lawful guardianship, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine. Whoever kidnaps or abducts any person in order that such person may be murdered or may be so disposed of as to be put in danger of being murdered, shall be punished with imprisonment for life or rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.Under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, a Hindu is bound, during his or her lifetime, to maintain his or her illegitimate children. The obligation to maintain illegitimate children is now upon both, the father as well as the mother. Not only the illegitimate son but also an illegitimate daughter is entitled to be maintained by her father and mother.The right to be maintained, however, extends only up to the period of minority. An illegitimate child is not entitled to be maintained by his or her parents after attaining majority. Such a child will also not be entitled to be maintained if he or she has ceased to be a Hindu by conversion to another religion.Moreover, under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, an illegitimate son of a deceased Hindu, so long as he is a minor, and an illegitimate daughter of a deceased Hindu, so long as she remains unmarried, are entitled to be maintained by the heirs of the deceased out of the estate inherited by them or by the persons who take the estate of the deceased.Such a son or daughter, however, will not be entitled to maintenance under the said Act if he or she has ceased to be a Hindu by conversion to another religion. An illegitimate child who has ceased to be a Hindu can, however, apply for maintenance from his or her father under the Code of Criminal Procedure.The court has given some landmark judgments in the field of illegitimacy. Some of such decisions are :The Supreme Court of India in Revanasiddappa vs. Mallikarjun opined that: the constitutional values enshrined in the Preamble of our Constitution that focuses on the concept of equality of status and opportunity and also on individual dignity. The Court has to remember that relationship between the parents may not be sanctioned by law but the birth of a child in such a relationship has to be viewed independently of the relationship of the parents. A child born in such a relationship is innocent and is entitled to all the rights which are given to other children born in a valid marriage.The Indian Society is a metaphysical society and so, it is going through a transformation stage that consists of two broad categories of people with two distinct ideologies. One of the groups believes in the orthodox methods of Hindu religion where having an illegitimate child is taboo and being one is a bigger stigma.The other group in the society consists of people who are rational and liberal in their outlook and do not consider illegitimacy as a stigma. They do not blame an illegitimate child for his/her existence instead blame the irresponsible couple. The laws in the society are also being amended accordingly as time and the situation demands.There is a need to be more liberal towards illegitimate children and the laws should also be amended in such a way that they have the best interest of all the people at heart.Q. Suppose, in the above given case, Chandu is of 16 years of age and he wants to claim maintenance from his mother. Can he do so?
