Professional's New Criminal Manual – Edition 2026, authored by Dr. B. Ramaswamy, is a consolidated legal reference covering the three major criminal law enactments that form India's new criminal law framework.

The manual brings together the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) in a single resource. These laws replaced the earlier Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act, respectively, creating a revised legislative framework for substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, and evidence.

Having all three enactments together makes this manual a convenient reference for readers who need to consult different aspects of the new criminal law system. The BNS deals primarily with offences and their associated provisions, the BNSS addresses criminal procedure, while the BSA deals with the law relating to evidence.

The book is particularly useful for advocates, law students, judicial service aspirants, prosecutors, police and legal professionals, researchers, and academics. Practising professionals can use it as a consolidated reference while dealing with criminal matters, whereas students and examination candidates can use it to study and revise the new criminal laws.

For law students and competitive examination aspirants, the manual can support preparation for university examinations, judicial services, AIBE, and other legal examinations where the new criminal laws form part of the syllabus. A consolidated reference can make it easier to compare and study substantive law, procedure, and evidence as interconnected areas of criminal justice.

The 2026 edition is suitable for readers seeking an updated reference to India's new criminal law framework. It can also be used alongside detailed commentaries, case-law books, bare acts, and examination guides for deeper study.
