The Present Publication is the Latest Edition, authored by Taxmann's Editorial Board, with the following noteworthy features:
Exhaustive ‘Section-by-Section’ Analysis
o The book provides a detailed section-by-section breakdown of the three major new laws, i.e. BNS, BNSS and BSA, replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act. Each section is analysed to clarify the new provisions, their scope, and practical implications. The commentary is aimed at aiding legal professionals in interpreting and applying the new laws effectively
Detailed Tabular Comparisons
o One of the standout features of this Ready Reckoner is the inclusion of tabular comparisons between the old laws (IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act) and the new laws (BNS, BNSS, and BSA). These tables help readers quickly identify the changes, including reworded sections, renumbered provisions, and newly introduced concepts. The comparison tables are handy for practitioners transitioning from the old legal framework to the new one, as they highlight the continuity and differences between the two sets of laws
User-Centric Organisation
o The book is divided into three primary divisions
§ Division One | Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which addresses substantive criminal law, including general exceptions, offences, and punishments
§ Division Two | Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which deals with procedural law, outlining the criminal procedures to be followed from investigation through trial and appeal
§ Division Three | Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which focuses on the law of evidence, detailing the rules and principles governing the admissibility, relevance, and evaluation of evidence in criminal cases
o Each division includes an arrangement of sections, a subject index, and guides that provide a roadmap for navigating the extensive content
Comparative Tables of Sections
o At the end of each division, the book provides comprehensive tables showing the old laws' sections (IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act) alongside the corresponding sections in the new laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA). This feature is instrumental in helping readers understand how specific provisions have been modified, relocated, or replaced. For example, sections from the IPC are matched with their counterparts in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, showing the continuity or changes in the legislative approach
Authoritative Commentary
o The book provides an authoritative commentary on each section, enriched with analyses of the legislative intent behind the new laws. This commentary not only explains the text of the law but also contextualises it within the broader framework of Indian criminal jurisprudence
Practical Utility
