Description
Write criminal law answers the way judiciary examiners want them
Most candidates know the law. Marks are lost because answers are unstructured, sections are cited wrongly, case law is vague, and problem questions are answered as essays. This book gives you a tested method and then shows it at work in 30 full model answers on the three new criminal laws, written fresh for this product and not copied from any past paper.
What is inside
- Part A, the writing guide: what examiners look for, the six-part structure for theory answers (introduction with the provision, ingredients, case law, illustration, critical comment, conclusion), how to cite BNS, BNSS and BSA sections alongside the old IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act, when the old law still applies, the issue, rule, application, conclusion method for problems, time management, presentation, common mistakes and a section conversion table.
- Part B, substantive law (16 answers): private defence, insanity and intoxication, abetment, criminal conspiracy and common intention, culpable homicide and murder, sudden fight, group murder under section 103(2) BNS, organised crime and terrorist act, rape, dowry death and cruelty, offences against children, theft, extortion, robbery, dacoity and snatching, cheating and criminal breach of trust.
- Part C, procedure (9 answers): FIR, zero FIR, e-FIR and preliminary enquiry, arrest and rights of arrested persons (D.K. Basu, Arnesh Kumar and the recent written grounds of arrest judgments), bail and anticipatory bail under sections 478 to 483 BNSS (Satender Kumar Antil, Sibbia, Sushila Aggarwal), charge and trial, plea bargaining.
- Part D, evidence (5 answers): electronic records and the section 63 BSA certificate (Anvar P.V., Arjun Panditrao Khotkar), dying declarations, confessions and discovery, burden of proof and presumptions.
- A short examiner’s tip with every answer, and a last-day revision sheet.
