Principles of Criminal Law in India (Cases & Materials)

• This book titled “Principles of Criminal Law in India: Cases and Materials” authored by Dr. Kumar Askand Pandey, is a class in itself inasmuch as it lucidly enumerates the fundamental principles of criminal law in India. 

• The revised, updated and enlarged edition of the book retains the original style of blending judicial decisions with high quality text and author’s opinions and submissions, maintaining its position of a unique book on the subject. 

• Decisions of the Supreme Court in ShayaraBano v. Union of India, Joseph Shine v. Union of India andNavtej Singh Johar v. Union of India find a contextual mention in the text of the book. 

• The chapter of Punishments critically analyses the latest development of penological principles with special reference to death penalty. 

• The chapter on General Defences is arguably the brightest star in the constellation of nine chapters. Each and every exception to criminal liability has been discussed in great detail comparing these defences with their English counterparts. 

• This book shall serve as an indispensable text and reference book for students of NLU’s and other Indian universities and candidates appearing in judicial and civil services examinations.
