Lectures on the Penal Code With Leading Cases

Criminal law becomes far easier to master when every section of the statute is explained in plain lecture form and anchored to the court decisions that shaped it. That is exactly the approach of this long-standing law text.

Written by Dr. Lutful Kabir (Dr. L. Kabir) and published here by Ain Prokashon, the book works through the Penal Code, 1860, the core criminal statute in force in Bangladesh. Earlier editions circulated for decades under the title Lectures on the Pakistan Penal Code, a sign of how long it has served law students in this region. Its lecture format breaks down offences, their essential ingredients, general exceptions and punishments, while leading cases show how the courts have read and applied the provisions in practice.

Why law readers keep it close:
• Lecture-style explanations of the Penal Code
• Leading cases attached to key provisions
• Helpful for LL.B. coursework and Bar examinations
• A handy refresher for practitioners and judicial aspirants

Recommended for law students, Bar and judicial service candidates and practising lawyers. As with any legal text, consult a qualified lawyer for advice on a specific case. Available from Ain Prokashon at Boipoka.
