This 2023 edition of The Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016 (Act 30 of 2016) codifies India’s legal response to aircraft hijacking, hostage situations, and related terrorist offences. Updated through all standing notifications, it incorporates the full text of the Anti-Hijacking Rules, 2017 (G.S.R. 828 E, dt. 5-7-2017) and delivers the verbatim statute with concise “short comments” spotlighting definitions, jurisdictional triggers, and penalty thresholds.
Core statutory coverage
• Offence definition—seizure or control of aircraft by force, threat, or intimidation, including attempts and abetment
• Extraterritorial jurisdiction for acts committed abroad involving Indian aircraft, nationals, or operators
• Punishments—life imprisonment or death, plus fines and property attachment for aggravated scenarios (loss of life, explosives)
• Investigative powers—National Investigation Agency (NIA) primacy, arrest without warrant, evidence seizure, and expedited charge-sheet timelines
• Special courts & speedy trial provisions to ensure swift adjudication under the Code of Criminal Procedure as modified by the Act
• Rule-making authority—security procedures for airlines, airports, and aviation personnel under the 2017 Rules
• International-law compliance with The Hague (1970) and Beijing (2010) Conventions on unlawful seizure of aircraft
This edition is particularly suitable for
• AIBE candidates and law students studying special criminal statutes and counter-terror frameworks
• Aviation-security officers, airline legal teams, and airport operators implementing anti-hijacking protocols
• Investigators, prosecutors, and defence counsel appearing before special courts under the Act
