ABOUT THE BOOK

Criminal law occupies a predominant place among the agencies of social control and is regarded as a formidable weapon that society has forged to protect itself against anti-social behavior. The criminal law has been described as one of the most faithful mirrors of a given civilization reflecting the fundamental values on which the latte rests. In the Sixth amendment to the Constitution of the U.S.A, it is stated that "in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial". The law is well known that in our country, investigation and trial of cases proceed slowly and the long delay that ensues the disposal of cases in the cause of great hardship to the parties. The chapter on "Criminal Trial" , "Investigation", "witnesses" , Criminal Liability and Bail & Bonds are bound to stimulate the interest of the thoughtful reader in this context.
