Handbook for Executive Magistrates
- Year of Publication: 2025
- Edition: 1st
- ISBN: 9788198874054
Handbook for Executive Magistrates aims to fill a long-standing void for a comprehensive and structured reference work concerning the roles, responsibilities, and powers of Executive Magistrates. The book comes at a critical juncture as Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaces the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
Spanning over ten parts and forty-five chapters, the book provides an exhaustive exposition of law, practice, and jurisprudence applicable to Executive Magistrates. It covers every significant dimension of their role, including appointment, statutory powers, and quasi-judicial functions in areas such as preventive justice, security proceedings, inquests, dying declarations, and test identification parades. The book also delves into other crucial areas including the maintenance of public order, control of public nuisance, defamation, contempt, and disciplinary jurisdiction.
The book is designed to be a handbook focusing on practical applicability. It achieves this by interspersing legal theory with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), actionable checklists, and ready-to-use formats for drafting orders and conducting proceedings. Covering landmark and critical case law, the book simplifies complex procedural requirements and offers conceptual clarity.
The book will be a valuable manual for young officers, experienced administrators, academicians, trainers, public prosecutors, and senior civil servants.
