| The publication of the present 26th Edition makes a historic feat. The existence of the book not only completes a century of satisfied readership but also commemorates the Silver Jubilee edition. It is a historic and triumphant moment for the valuable readers, authors and the Publishers. Indeed, this work needs no introduction. Anyone having anything to do with the criminal branch of law would have referred to this treatise some time or the other. The present edition has undergone a thorough scrutiny in the light of new decisions of the Supreme Court and various High Courts, reported since the last edition was published. While retaining the envious clarity and simplicity of the authoritative commentary, it adequately reflects the knowledge and experience of the revising legal luminary. Tremendous care has been taken to prune the obsolete material and incorporate all that is relevant, including the recent judicial activism on penology and criminology. Undoubtedly, it is the OFT-REFERRED, OFT-RELIED & OFT-COMMENTED UPON commentary on the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The statute law has been updated upto February, 2009 in the reprint. |
