P S A Pillai, Criminal Law is one of the most archetypal text on criminal law, ever since the publication of its first edition in 1956. With a section-wise content flow, this work adopts a unique approach to the study of the law of crime, focusing on both the emerging issues and the legislative as well as juristic developments. A leading treatise on the subject for over six decades, this work is a thematic presentation of the complex and multi-dimensional subject of criminal law in a lucid, comprehensive and systematic manner.
This edition of P S A Pillai's Criminal Law provides a detailed analysis of the new provisions introduced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; however, it preserves the essence and spirit of the original work, ensuring its continued applicability and relevance to both the newly enacted and the foundational principles of the earlier Act. Additionally, the work also explains all the relevant provisions of BNSS, 2023 and BSA, 2023.
