A to Z Criminal Trial BY Dr. PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH

A to Z Criminal Trial is a comprehensive, practice-first manual that converts criminal procedure and evidence law into reproducible courtroom workflows. Organized as an A→Z reference, the book covers pre-trial stages (FIR, investigation, charge-sheet, bail), modes of trial (warrant/summon/summary), framing and altering of charges, presentation and exclusion of evidence, witness examination and cross-examination tactics, argument structure, judgment-writing and sentencing principles. Each entry pairs statutory text with concise headnotes, leading authorities, practical drafting notes and stepwise checklists. Special modules address digital evidence preservation, speedy-trial norms, plea bargaining, victim-impact considerations, interim applications (antenuptial relief, anticipatory bail, injunctions), and appellate strategy. The practical appendix contains model documents (FIR, charge-sheet, bail application, sample charge, witness plan, motion to exclude evidence), computation timelines, flowcharts for trial management and “red-flag” traps to avoid. Designed for efficiency, the book uses issue → law → practice → template structure so counsel and court staff can find solutions quickly. Whether you are preparing your first trial or managing complex multi-accused proceedings, this handbook minimizes surprise, accelerates preparation and improves courtroom outcomes.
