Publisher's Synopsis
The Literal & Contextual Interpretation of The INDIAN CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1973 - Volume 1
By Prof. M Abid (Manchester, UK)
This comprehensive volume offers a unique approach to understanding the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC), through a literal and contextual lens. Inspired by Frederick J. De Sloovere's seminal 1936 article, "The Contextual Interpretation of Statutes", Professor M Abid breaks down the complexities of criminal procedure law into digestible components by applying the rules of English grammar and composition.
Designed specifically for Judges, Magistrates, Police Officers, Practitioner Lawyers, Prosecutors, and Law Students in India, this book addresses a pressing challenge in legal interpretation-decoding the compressed and often linguistically intricate statutory language of the CrPC. By transforming legal provisions into main and subordinate clauses, the author brings clarity to statutory interpretation and enhances legal comprehension for both experienced professionals and new entrants to the legal field.
With over 1.5 million advocates and an annual addition of 60,000-70,000 new law graduates in India, this book stands out as an essential guide for anyone seeking a deeper, more contextual understanding of procedural criminal law in India. It is a vital tool in nurturing jurisprudential success through statutory clarity.
