This latest release from the publishers of the popular Supreme Court Yearly Digest series is a reliable, comprehensive, and accurate Digest of the entire criminal case-law laid down by the Supreme Court in the year 2006. It is the most comprehensive, systematic and analytical Criminal Digest available today.
Each case has been thoroughly analysed to extract all the rulings for which that case is a binding precedent. All the rulings have been properly arranged under both statutory and topic headings, interconnected by well-planned cross-references and supported by synopses wherever necessary.
The volume contains many features that would assist in easy access to information. For example cases have been grouped topic wise for subjects like Criminal Trial, High Courts, Preventive Detention, etc. Various new topic headings, such as, Intoxicants and Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes etc. have been introduced. Headings made and created under various articles of the Constitution of India have been expanded and recast.
The aim of the authors has been to ultimately bring it in consonance with the Complete Digest of Supreme Court Cases so that the Supreme Court Criminal Digest becomes a yearly appendicle/update to it and the two can be searched seamlessly.
Further the book serves as a complementary to the Supreme Court CasesTM (Cri), which is exclusively devoted to the reporting of criminal judgments of the Supreme Court, both reportable and non-reportable. A handy practitioner's guide to the criminal case-law for the year 2006.
