COMMENTARY on Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (Penal Law) | First and Latest Book for Commentary on BNS

Having the New Criminal Laws come into effect on 01/07/2024, several publishers are continuously releasing books in the form of bare Acts of BNS, BNSS and BSA with comparative tables.

While the stream of publication is going as such, the reputed law book publishers M/s. Asia Law House have now made a maiden attempt to give commentary on those three New Laws and remain successful as its two editions have sold on popular demand. On that score, this present latest edition contains commentary on Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 in the form of Notes and Case Laws and made BNS easy to understand for the readers.

Its Author Mr. K.Sudhakar, being a retd. Superintendent of Police has elegantly structured and explained the BNS in this book systematically.  He says in his front note that in order to avoid reading the entire substance of the Section to know the difference between the old Act (IPC 1860) and new Act (BNS 2023), he has compared both the Acts word by word and highlighted / made bold the amendments/additions in the new Act for ready reference by the Readers and the amendment/changes in the heading of the Section are in Italic.

Besides this, it is pertinent to point out that the Author has taken much pain to make this commentary most practicable to the readers in the following aspects:-

(1) Corresponding section of old Act is given at the end of each section of the New Act,

(2) Prepared two tables one with old IPC Sections serially mentioned showing the new Act related Sections in the next column for comparison and vice-e-versa.

(3) For every Punishment Section, Classification mentioning Cognizable / Non Cognizable, Bailable / Non-Bailable, Punishment and Compoundable / non Compoundable at the end of each sections. (This is a great feature for quick reference),

(4) List of Cognizable Offence,

(5) List of Bailable / Non-Bailable Offences.

(6) Some important Sections highlighted for example, Section 48 - Abetment outside India for offence in India; Section 69 - Sexual Intercourse by employing deceitful means etc. ; Section 95 - Hiring, employing or engaging a child to commit an offence; Section 96 - Procuration of Child; Section 111 - Organised Crime; Section 112 - Petty Organised Crime; Section 113 - Terrorist Act.

(7) For Legal / Latin words meanings are given in Foot Note for clear and easy understanding.

Thus this book would give a complete understanding of penal law to step further in the lucrative legal practice.

All the best
