COMMENTARY on Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (Criminal Procedure) | First and Latest Book for Commentary on BNSS

Having the New Major Criminal Laws come into effect from 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 Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in the form of Notes and Case Laws and made BNSS easy to understand for the readers.

Its Author Mr. K.Sudhakar, being a retd. Superintendent of Police has elegantly structured and explained the BNSS in this book systematically.  He says in his front note that in order to avoid reading the entire substance of the Section to know ingredients, the difference between the old Act (Cr.P.C.1973) and new Act (BNSS 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 CrPC Sections serially mentioned showing the new Act related Sections in the next column for comparison and vice-e-versa.

(3) Some important Sections newly added are highlighted for example, namely Sections 2(1)(a), (b), (d), (e), and (i), 35(7), 86, 105, 107, 172, 336, 356, 398, 472, 530 which are shown in Table, Printed infra in Appendices.

(4) Some common replacement / Amendments are also pointed out such as the wod Pleader was replaced by Advocate, the word Metropolitan Magistrate was replaced by Magistrate

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

Thus this book would give a complete understanding of New Criminal Procedure Law to step further in the lucrative legal practice.
