Justice C.K. Thakker's Penal Law examines the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which replaced the Indian Penal Code, 1860, as India's principal substantive criminal law. The book explains fundamental criminal law concepts, the scope of offences and the principles underlying their punishments.

The text considers newly introduced and modified provisions in the context of their legislative objectives, drawing on sources such as the Code Makers' View and reports of the Law Commission of India.
