520			_aThe book, thus, provides a comprehensive study of the various offences under IPC. In this second updated edition, the author deals with various contentious topics, such as, white-collar crime; capital punishment and President's power of pardon, Impeachment of a Supreme Court judge, the Telgi stamp fraud, Rupan Bajaj case, cyber crimes etc., and some new crimes like transsexualism, wife beating and domestic violence, thus further enhancing the utility of the book. The style of presentation of the subject matter is remarkable for its coherence and brevity of expression. Two appendices add to the utility of the book : Rights of the Accused and the Prisoner and the Arms & Explosives Act. A table of statutes and subject-index further facilitate access to the rich materials in the book. The book will be highly useful to those appearing for the administrative, civil and judicial examinations and also for the LL.B. & LL.M. exams. A handy referencer for police officers, law teachers, the research scholar and the practicing lawyer. Reviews: "Cochin University Law Review": A novel feature of the book, which qualitatively makes its identity distinct from other books on the Code is that it briefly discusses the concept of socio-economic crimes with a historical outline of their origin and their nature and scope; it also mentions about the nexus between politics and crime and provides a statistical estimate of crimes likely to be committed in India of the 21st century. "Central India Law Quarterly": It incorporates, though in brief, some new crimes like transsexualism, wife beating and domestic violence, and deals with them to the best advantage of the readers. The book can, for this reason, be said to be different from many others. The book can be claimed to be a rational combination of a text book and lawyer's commentary and this feature has been rightly claimed as its novel feature. The book has merits of its own and deserves a place in all law libraries. "Criminal Law Journal": The subject matter is arranged chapter-wise as in I.P.C. text itself and the relevant sections scattered in the text relating to a particular topic are brought together topic-wise in one place and dealt with that topic in its entirety. This is the specialty of this book. The second novel feature of the book is that, while presenting a topic, its meaning, principle involved, the object and scope, explanation of terms and exceptions and comments there on are given. The distinctions between terms and various sections are explained. At the end of each section, punishment, practice and procedure are stated for easy reference. The author has also touched on the present day crimes of corruption.
