Law Relating to Immoral Trafficking

Law Relating to Immoral Trafficking by Dr. Rakesh Kumar Singh and Mr. Souvik Dhar is a comprehensive and case-oriented study of India’s legal framework addressing human trafficking and prostitution. The book focuses primarily on the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA), while also examining related provisions under criminal law and constitutional safeguards.

Structured as “Cases and Materials,” the publication combines statutory analysis with leading judicial decisions to provide a practical and academic understanding of anti-trafficking law. It explores key issues such as trafficking of women and children, exploitation, brothel-related offences, rehabilitation measures, procedural safeguards, and the role of enforcement authorities.

Special emphasis is placed on human rights considerations, victim protection mechanisms, and evolving judicial interpretation. The book also discusses the socio-legal dimensions of prostitution laws and contemporary challenges in combating organized trafficking networks.
