Description
PSA Pillai's Criminal Law has been regarded as a classic text on the Indian Penal Code 1860, (IPC), for over five decades. The current edition retains the scheme and essential facets of the previous editions. In the light of leading judicial pronouncements and emerging trends in the field, it offers an in-depth analysis of all the substantive offences incorporated in the IPC. It, for the first time, also delves into, and offers an analysis of, the Proposals for Reform in each of the offences. Though the book is primarily about the substantive law of crimes in India, provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 (CrPC) and the Indian Evidence Act 1872, are referred to wherever necessary. Written in a simple and lucid style and supported with rich authorities, judicial as well as juristic, this current edition will retain its decades old appeal for all persons interested in the field of criminal law. This book will prove indispensable for practitioners, academics, and judges, most of whom have relied, at one time or another, on Pillai's Criminal Law, at the very start of their legal career as well as in their profession over the past more than fifty years (since its first publication in 1956). It will also be indispensable for students of law pursuing their Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral Degree in the field of criminal law.
