The IPC may have been succeeded by the BNS, but it remains very much alive — every offence committed before 1 July 2024 is still tried under the 1860 Code, and comparative IPC–BNS questions now appear across university and judiciary papers. Dr. M.P. Tandon’s The Indian Penal Code is the classic student commentary on the original Code: general explanations, general exceptions, and the full range of offences against the human body, property, public tranquillity and the State, each built around the landmark cases from Virsa Singh to K.M. Nanavati.
For students studying the transition, reading Tandon on the IPC alongside a BNS text is the fastest way to see precisely what changed — and what merely got renumbered. 2023 edition.
