Criminal Laws

Criminal Laws focus on offenses, penalties, and procedures designed to maintain public order and ensure justice. The subject covers the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, Indian Evidence Act, and relevant special statutes. Students study general principles of criminal liability, actus reus, mens rea, and defenses, along with specific offenses against persons, property, and the State. Procedures of investigation, trial, bail, and sentencing are examined in detail. The subject also includes economic offenses, cybercrime, corruption, juvenile justice, and protective laws for vulnerable groups. Through case studies, moot exercises, and practical examples, students develop analytical and critical thinking skills required for prosecution, defense, and advisory roles. Understanding criminal laws equips students to interpret statutes, advise clients, ensure procedural compliance, and contribute to law enforcement and social justice. It also fosters awareness of ethical responsibilities, human rights, and the balance between societal order and individual freedoms.
