Description:
K.N.C. Pillai's General Principles of Criminal Law is a well-established work that presents the principles of criminal law through the case method. It is the first work of its kind to dispel the convention of confining this area of study to the four walls of the statutory regime.

The 2nd Edition has been thoroughly updated and beautifully designed, in keeping with the existing pattern of the work. The learned author has introduced each topic in the book and then explained it by leading English and Indian cases. At the end of each case, fundamental questions of law are given for classroom discussion. To help students prepare case notes, the text of cases has been condensed, edited and summarised; some explanatory notes and suggested readings are also added to them. The category of uncompleted crimes, often called inchoate offenses, also finds a significant place in the book.

This landmark work will be indispensable to students of LL.B. and LL.M. and anyone teaching or learning the basic principles of criminal law.
