Digest on Supreme Court on Rape Murder And Rape & Murder

Digest on Supreme Court on Rape, Murder and Rape & Murder is a concise, practitioner-oriented reference that organises Supreme Court jurisprudence on some of the criminal law’s most sensitive and consequential offences. The book presents chronologically indexed headnotes and non-graphic case summaries that identify charges, procedural posture, core facts, legal issues (e.g., corroboration, delay in complaint, medical evidence, identification, circumstantial evidence), the Court’s reasoning and the final disposition including sentencing rationale. Dedicated sections synthesise the Court’s evolving standards on burden and sufficiency of evidence, the role of medical and forensic reports, test for appreciation of circumstantial evidence, and principles guiding death sentences and alternative punishments. For quick practice use, the digest includes: an at-a-glance table of leading precedents by issue; sentencing trend charts and lists of cases quashed, confirmed, or remanded; model citations for drafting; and a practitioner’s checklist for taking appeals and framing grounds in sexual-violence and homicide matters. Designed for courtroom efficiency and scholarly analysis, this digest helps advocates, prosecutors, judges and researchers locate controlling law rapidly while avoiding needless repetition of graphic details.
