Offences Against the State
Whoever collects men, arms or ammunition, or otherwise prepares to wage war, with the intention of waging or being prepared to wage war against the Government of India, is punished with life imprisonment or up to 10 years' imprisonment plus fine.
This criminalises the preparatory stage of gathering people, weapons, or ammunition toward waging war against the government, even before an actual attempt is made.
Stockpiling weapons and recruiting fighters specifically to prepare for an armed action against the government is itself a completed offence under this section.
