As per the illustrated query!

The Indian penal code was prepared by the First Law Commission, chaired by Thomas Babington Macaulay. The draft was based on the simple codification of the law of England, while at the same time borrowing elements from the Napoleanic Code and Louisiana Civil Code of 1825.

The IPC in its various sections defines specific crimes and provides punishment for them. It is sub-divided into 23 chapters that comprise 511 sections. 

Moreover, the Indian penal code has been amended several times. The entire list you probably get in Wikipedia. Here is the link.

When it comes to the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 it was enacted in 1973 and came into force on 1 April 1974. It provides the machinery for the investigation of crime, apprehension of suspected criminals, collection of evidence, determination of guilt or innocence of the accused person and the determination of punishment of the guilty. It also deals with public nuisance, prevention of offences and maintenance of wife,  child and parents. It is subdivided into 37 chapters and that comprises 484 sections.

The Code of Criminal Procedure code, 1973 has been amended several times. You may probably find the entire list of amendments in Wikipedia. Here is the link
