About the book

When we think about writing, "Art" isn't something that immediately comes into mind. According to the Merriam Webster's dictionary, "Art" is the use of creativity, skill and imagination to create something that’s beautiful or emotionally expressive, and it means "Writing" is a beautiful piece of art and the author is an artist.

Such an artist is Lord Babington Macaulay under whose chairmanship Indian Penal Code was drafted in the year 1836. It came into force in British India during early British Raj in the year 1862. However it did not apply automatically in the Princely States, which had their own courts and legal system until the 1940s. The code has since then been amended several times and is now supplemented by other criminal provisions. In the year 2019 by Jammu & Kashmir re-organization act, IPC-1860 is now extended to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir as well. Since my LL.B. days I am fond of this beautiful piece of work known as Indian Penal Code and I have gone through almost all the books published under this title. In the year 2020 during the first lockdown I started writing this book in such a way that even a layman or the reader of this book who does not belong to any legal background can also understand it. To prepare the contents I have taken references from various magazines, web sites, Law Journals, text books, commentries etc. A few important resources are as follows :-

1. Books Penned by Ratanlal & Dhirajlal; P.S.A. Pillai; K.D. Gaur; B.L. Babel; S.N. Mishra; Rega Surya Rao; Murli Dhar Chaturvedi; Pro. Tridivesh Bhattacharya; Dr. N.V. Pranjape; Prakarsh Pandey.
2. Supreme Court Yearly Digest; and
3. Preliminary Examination Question Papers of Various States.

This book contains latest amendments, important and landmark judgements, latin maxims, important notes to understand each section in an easy way. The most important part o f this book is that we have tried our best to cover all the important MCQs with explanations for better understanding of provisions. It is my responsibility to thank my publisher Integrity Education (Delhi, London) who showed their faith on me to complete this mammoth work .. Also I am thankful to all my team members and students those who have given their valuable suggestions for the betterment of this book

Specially, I am thankful to Advocate, Rytham singh, Advocate Maya Rathore, Civil Judge Vanshita Gupta, Advocate Khushbu Maheshwari, Adv. Varalika and Saumya. I am very much thankful to Hon'ble L.K. Bhargav Sir (Retd. Judge) and Hon'ble Vimal Chhajed Sir (Retd. Deputy Director Prosecution) for their valuable suggesstion & guidance.

I am thankful to my family members specially to my wife Mrs Komal Joshi and Son Master Hanu for giving me sufficient time to write this book & give my best. I am also thankful to my late mother-in-law who always encouraged me to achieve more and more in life and whose blessings are with us for life.

The true credit of this book goes to Mr. Kaushalendra Sharma who has given his best of knowledge & experience to set the book in such a manner that even a novice can understand the content and read it in an easy way.

I hope this book will provide you enough material not only to understand Indian Penal code but also to crack any competitive examination. Thanks & Best Regards
