House-trespass penalties escalate with nocturnal entry and violent intent, including life imprisonment for grievous hurt. Punishment for lurking house-trespass and house-breaking is tiered by timing, purpose, and attendant violence: basic offences attract imprisonment and fine, increased for nocturnal entry; further extended when committed to facilitate an imprisonable offence, with greater terms if the intended offence is theft. Preparation to cause hurt, assault, wrongful restraint, or fear attracts higher penalties, especially if done at night. Causing or attempting grievous hurt while committing such trespass or breaking exposes the offender to life imprisonment or long terms, and where grievous harm is voluntarily caused during nocturnal joint trespass, all jointly concerned face the same elevated punishments and fines.
