Decoding the Law of Crimes – Full 3-Hour Masterclass with Advocate Narra Srinivas Rao

"If you're a law student or aspiring litigator, this is the kind of session you'll remember for years."

After the overwhelming response to our March session on the Evidence Act, 1516 returned with another deep-dive — this time into the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.

Led by Advocate Narra Srinivas Rao, a respected High Court practitioner with over 25 years of experience, this session was packed with clarity, precision, and real-life relevance.

🔍 What This Session Covers

Advocate Narra Srinivas Rao takes you through Chapters 1 to 6 of the BNS, covering:

• Chapter 1: Preliminary
• Chapter 2: General Exceptions
• Chapter 3: Joint Liability and Common Intention
• Chapter 4: Abetment
• Chapter 5: Criminal Conspiracy and Attempt
• Chapter 6: Offences Against the State

And through these chapters, the session answers real, practice-based questions:

• What happens if a child under 7 commits a crime?
• Can someone be punished just for being present at a crime scene?
• When is private defence valid — and when is it not?
• Why was sedition removed from the IPC, and what has BNS introduced in its place?

Each concept is brought to life through courtroom examples and real cases Advocate Rao has personally handled.

🧠 Why This Session Matters

Most students study criminal law through definitions and illustrations. But this session shows you how law actually operates — in police stations, bail hearings, charge-sheeting decisions, and cross-examinations.

It builds legal thinking — not just memory.

When you're in the legal profession, every section of BNS must be on your lips.
