What’s Inside — Complete Coverage Map (358 Sections + Economic Crimes)
This edition pairs a full section-by-section commentary on the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 with a dedicated treatment of allied economic crimes — the combination that distinguishes it from a plain penal-code commentary.
Opening chapters — principles and practice: principles of law, jurisprudence and punishment · trial and investigation of offences · misuse of the process of the court · probation where the Act prescribes a minimum sentence · the right to privacy · operation of criminal law, mandatory and directory provisions · the Supreme Court’s power of review and when a review is maintainable · the sociology of law · judge-made law and the rule of justice · the rule against double jeopardy · hearing on the question of sentence and the “rarest of rare” test · an extended treatment of dying declarations (multiple declarations, corroboration by medical and scientific evidence, odontology reports) · electronic evidence · injured-witness evidence · and a set of landmark judgments.
