Framework of Investigation by Yogesh V Nayyar Edition 2025

Framework of Investigation by Yogesh V. Nayyar is a comprehensive guide to modern criminal investigation under India’s new criminal law framework. The book examines critical procedural aspects including investigation timelines, standard operating procedures for seizure, admissibility standards, and proof of digital, electronic, DNA, and fingerprint evidence.

A significant feature of the work is its comparative analysis of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) vis-à-vis Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA) vis-à-vis Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023. It offers clarity on Section 65B of the Evidence Act and Section 63 of BSA, addressing the evolving standards for electronic record admissibility.

The book also discusses the legal implications of delay in lodging E-FIRs under BNSS and provides insights into disproving and rebutting electronic and forensic evidence in trial. Designed for criminal practitioners, prosecutors, judicial officers, forensic experts, and law students, this volume bridges statutory reforms with courtroom application.
