Summary: Criminal Law-. Cases and Materials by Professor KD Gaur, a classic work in the field of criminal law, has been quoted with approval in the judgments of various courts in India and abroad. The present edition, extensively revised and updated, gives a complete insight into the statutes with a succinct analysis of the black letter. The book delves into important topics relating to fundamentals of crime and criminal law, principles of criminal liability, mens rea under the Indian Penal Code and other statutory offences, strict liability of manufacturers of hazardous substances, cybercrimes and offences against the human body. It traces and analyses the worldwide movement towards the abolition of capital punishment by Amnesty International resulting in its removal from the penal laws of 142 countries. Recent amendments of far reaching significance made in section 375 and 376 and insertion of several of new offences vide the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act (13 of 2013), and Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018 such as sections 326A, 326B, 354A, 354B, 354C, 354D, 370A, 376A, 376AB, 376B, 376C, 376D 376 DA, 376DB and 376E have been included. Exhaustive and critical evaluation of new offences, such as grievous hurt by acid attack, sexual harassment, voyeurism, stalking, gang rape and provisions for harsh punishment for repeat and habitual offenders, enhance the utility of the book. Punishment for rape, dowry death and other heinous offences, like drug trafficking and hijacking have been thoroughly discussed and critically evaluated. Inclusion of recent cases like Common Cause (A Registered Society) v. UOI declaring right to life includes right to die, Joseph Shine v. UOI decriminializing adulter, judgment declaring section 377 to be void and opening a new chapter for lakhs of members for LGBT community are worth mentioning.
