<p>This&nbsp;<strong>eight-volume</strong>&nbsp;exhaustive Digest on the subject of&nbsp;<strong><em>Criminal Procedure Code and Criminal Trial</em></strong>&nbsp;is a complete source for the entire case law on the subject, from 1950 till date as laid down by the Supreme Court.<br />
The Digest has been conceived and planned on the time-tested SCC index system to enable the discovery of all the rulings, easily and quickly.<br />
Under the Criminal Procedure Code, of 1973, case law has been digested section-wise. A few sections have been clubbed together with a common synopsis, to enable systematic and convenient research on the closely related provisions of law. Sections which have been clubbed in this manner are: Sections 125 to 128 dealing with a Magistrate?s power to award maintenance; Sections 155 to 159 dealing with the power and conduct of the investigation by the police; and Sections 161 and 162 dealing with the examination of witnesses by police. Furthermore, a synopsis of the case law has been given under Sections 154, 164, 167, 197, 378, 386, 406, 437, 438, 439, and 482, due to a large number of rulings thereunder.<br />
Further, case law has also been digested under: Criminal Procedure Code, 1861; Criminal Procedure Code,1872; Criminal Procedure Code, 1882; Criminal Procedure Code, 1898; and the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment Bill), 1994.<br />
Very often there are rulings of the Supreme Court that do not fit simply under sections of CrPC, and a more intuitive approach is required for those who are yet to master the complexities of CrPC. Hence, an intuitive topic-wise synopsis has been created under ?Criminal Trial? to make the case law accessible in a simpler and intuitive way.</p>
