APPLIED CRIMINAL LAW

AND PROCEDURE (24 –28 August, 2016)

About the Course:

“May man be a little lower than angels, he has not shed off the brute and the brute within is

apt to break loose at occasions.”

– H R Khanna, Former Judge,

Supreme Court of India.

Human beings are capable of commit-ting offences which are harmful, threat-ening, or endangering to the property, health, safety and moral welfare of peo-ple. Criminal law governs such of-fences, and is multifarious in nature. Criminal law consists of three major acts, namely, Indian Penal Code, The Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act, and many other minor acts. Each action of ours is under con-stant scrutiny for being in confirmation with the laws we are governed by, in-cluding Criminal Law, making it an in-tegral part of our lives. Study of Crimi-nal law is not only enriching, but also essential.
