Textbook on The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023

K D Gaur’s Textbook on The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is a detailed, section-wise examination of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which came into effect on 1 July 2024. This book provides a thorough explanation of the new provisions introduced in the Sanhita and highlights the changes made to the provisions of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code, 1860.

Each section is followed by comments that reference the corresponding sections from the Indian Penal Code, 1860, detailing the specific changes made and the relevant legal principles. These comments are further supported by judgments rendered under the erstwhile Indian Penal Code, 1860.

In addition to explaining the new provisions and changes, the book addresses emerging issues, legislative changes, and judicial developments. Significant alterations to the well-established rules of criminal law and new developments are discussed at appropriate places throughout the book. Important decisions of Indian and International Courts, which have either changed the direction of legal principles or provided new insights into existing ones, have been carefully examined.

This comprehensive approach ensures that readers gain a thorough understanding of the new Sanhita, its implications, and its application in legal practice.
