Review

This book is beautifully authored by Mr. Ramayan Sharma, a former Principal Judge, Family Court, Ayodhya and currently Presiding Officer of Permanent Lok Adalat at Ambedkar Nagar. With the enforcement of new Acts namely, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, the criminal law may not change entirely but will certainly take time to make people understand the provisions with new sections in respect of same offences, punishments and procedures. Mr. Sharma has taken good care to refer to both new and old sections in his book to serve relevant material on one single platter.
