AIBE (All India Bar Examination) books on Criminal Law
 

From July 1, the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) came into effect across India, ushering in significant changes in the legal landscape. These developments are crucial for candidates preparing for the AIBE (All India Bar Examination), especially for those focusing on Criminal Law.
 

For AIBE aspirants, understanding the transition from the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to the BNSS is key. The BNSS outlines modern procedures for arrest, bail, and custody, replacing sections from the CrPC, which have been central to criminal law in India. A thorough grasp of these new procedures, along with the updated rules for filing cognizable offences under Section 173 of the BNSS (as opposed to Section 154 of the CrPC), will be crucial for success in the exam.
 

In addition, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which replaces the Indian Penal Code (IPC) of 1860, introduces significant updates in substantive criminal law. The BNS is especially relevant for AIBE candidates preparing for sections on criminal offences, including new amendments that may soon address sexual crimes against men and transgender persons, areas that are gaining legal prominence.
 

The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), which replaces the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, introduces updated evidentiary standards, such as mandatory audio-video recording of search and seizure operations, forensic examinations, and the electronic submission of evidence. For AIBE candidates, a solid understanding of these updated rules of evidence will be essential for dealing with questions on criminal trial procedures and courtroom conduct.
 

For AIBE Criminal Law preparation, candidates must focus on the new laws alongside their predecessors (IPC and CrPC) since both will run concurrently for some time, particularly for pending cases or crimes committed before July 1. Additionally, with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network Systems (CCTNS) allowing e-FIRs and zero FIRs to be filed without visiting a police station, understanding how technological advancements impact criminal procedure will be important for the exam.
 

For aspiring lawyers taking the AIBE, these books are comprehensive guides that cover these new laws in detail will be crucial to success, offering an updated approach to India's criminal justice system.
