Penal Laws and Criminal Jurisprudence

Most Likely Questions — Penal Laws & Criminal Jurisprudence (LLM Semester I) is a practice-first companion for postgraduate criminal law. Mapped to university patterns, it assembles frequently tested and application-oriented problems with stepwise answer structures that model issue spotting, doctrinal articulation and crisp conclusions under time limits. Major themes include actus reus and mens rea, causation, strict liability, general exceptions/defences, attempt, abetment and criminal conspiracy, common intention and common object, corporate/criminal negligence, burden and standard of proof, presumptions, and sentencing philosophy with mitigation and aggravation. The guide also highlights how substantive principles interact with procedure and evidence, enabling students to present integrated, authoritative answers. Written by Dr. Ambarish R. Patnigere, an experienced academic and administrator, the book doubles as a quick-revision manual: definitions, distinctions, and examiner-friendly headings are foregrounded for last-minute prep and viva. Clear language, compact notes and exam cues make it ideal for self-study or classroom drills.
