Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 |भारतीय साक्ष अधिनियम, २०२३ |Diglot Edition
Snowwhite’s Diglot Edition – New Criminal Laws: Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA) is a comprehensive English and Marathi bilingual edition designed for law students, advocates, legal professionals, judiciary aspirants, academicians and anyone seeking an easy reference to India’s new law of evidence. This 2026 edition presents the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 in English and Marathi, along with useful comparative references to the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Corresponding provisions of the old and new laws are provided through detailed comparison tables, while references to the relevant old sections are given below each corresponding new section for quick understanding and transition. The book also includes tables highlighting newly introduced and repealed provisions under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. The Marathi translation has been prepared with due reference to the Government translation of the earlier Indian Evidence Act, making the text useful for readers who prefer legal content in Marathi. Snowwhite’s Diglot Edition – नवीन फौजदारी कायदे : भारतीय साक्ष अधिनियम, २०२३ (BSA) हा इंग्रजी व मराठी भाषेतील द्विभाषिक (Diglot) संदर्भग्रंथ असून, नवीन साक्ष कायद्याचा सुलभ व तुलनात्मक अभ्यास करण्यासाठी उपयुक्त आहे. हा ग्रंथ कायद्याचे विद्यार्थी, अधिवक्ता, न्यायालयीन परीक्षांची तयारी करणारे विद्यार्थी, कायदे अभ्यासक, प्राध्यापक आणि कायदेविषयक व्यावसायिकांसाठी उपयुक्त आहे. या २०२६ च्या आवृत्तीत भारतीय साक्ष अधिनियम, २०२३ मधील तरतुदी इंग्रजी व मराठी भाषेत दिल्या असून, जुन्या भारतीय साक्षीपुरावा अधिनियम, १८७२ मधील संबंधित तरतुदींचा संदर्भही देण्यात आला आहे. जुन्या व नवीन कायद्यांमधील संबंधित कलमांची तुलना करण्यासाठी उपयुक्त तक्ते समाविष्ट करण्यात आले आहेत. प्रत्येक नवीन कलमाखाली संबंधित जुन्या कलमाचा संदर्भ दिल्यामुळे जुन्या कायद्यातून नवीन कायद्यातील तरतुदी समजून घेणे अधिक सोपे होते. भारतीय साक्ष अधिनियम, २०२३ अंतर्गत नव्याने समाविष्ट करण्यात आलेल्या तसेच वगळण्यात आलेल्या तरतुदींचे तुलनात्मक तक्ते देखील या ग्रंथाचे महत्त्वाचे वैशिष्ट्य आहे. जुन्या भारतीय साक्षीपुरावा अधिनियमाच्या शासनाच्या अनुवादाचा संदर्भ घेऊन मराठी अनुवाद करण्यात आलेला असल्याने मराठी माध्यमातून कायद्याचा अभ्यास करणाऱ्यांसाठी हा ग्रंथ विशेष उपयुक्त ठरतो.
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 | भारतीय न्याय संहिता, 2023
Diglot Edition of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) in English and Marathi is built to make the transition from the old Indian Penal Code genuinely manageable, not just present the new law in two languages side by side. It opens with a full Classification of Offences (अपराधाचे वर्गीकरण) for quick orientation, followed by detailed tables mapping the corresponding provisions between the IPC, 1860 and the BNS, 2023 (भारतीय दंड संहिता, १८६० व भारतीय न्याय संहिता, २०२३ च्या तुलनात्मक तरतूदी दर्शविणारे तक्ते) — genuinely useful when you need to trace where an old, familiar IPC section landed in the new code. Every new section is printed with a reference to its corresponding old section directly below it (प्रत्येक नवीन कलमाच्या खाली जुन्या कलमांचा संदर्भ देण्यात आलेला आहे), so cross-referencing doesn't mean flipping back and forth between separate tables while reading. It also includes dedicated tables showing exactly which provisions were newly introduced and which were repealed under the BNS (भारतीय न्याय संहिता, २०२३ द्वारे नव्याने अंतर्भूत केलेल्या आणि वगळलेल्या तरतूदी दर्शविणारे तक्ते) — a detail that matters a lot in practice but is often missing from other diglot editions. The Marathi translation itself has been done carefully, taking the Government's own translation of the old Marathi IPC into account, so the terminology stays consistent with what practitioners and courts in Maharashtra are already familiar with rather than introducing a fresh, unfamiliar vocabulary.
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023|भारतीय नागरिक सुरक्षा संहिता २०२३
Snow White's Diglot Edition of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) in English and Marathi carries forward the same careful, transition-focused approach used across the publisher's new criminal law series. The book opens with detailed tables mapping the corresponding provisions between the old Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the new BNSS, 2023 (फौजदारी प्रक्रिया संहिता, १९७३ व भारतीय नागरिक सुरक्षा संहिता, २०२३ च्या तुलनात्मक तरतूदी दर्शविणारे तक्ते) — essential for anyone still working from memory of CrPC section numbers. Every new provision is printed with its corresponding old section referenced directly beneath it (प्रत्येक नवीन कलमाच्या खाली जुन्या कलमांचा संदर्भ देण्यात आलेला आहे), so there's no need to keep flipping to a separate comparison table while reading the text. It also includes dedicated tables identifying exactly which provisions were newly introduced and which were repealed under the BNSS (भारतीय नागरिक सुरक्षा संहिता, २०२३ द्वारे नव्याने अंतर्भूत केलेल्या आणि वगळलेल्या तरतूदी दर्शविणारे तक्ते) — genuinely useful for spotting procedural changes that aren't always obvious from a straight read-through. The Marathi translation has been done with real care, based on the Government's own translated versions of the old Marathi Code of Criminal Procedure (शासनाच्या संबंधित अनुवादित अधिनियमांच्या आधारे करण्यात आलेल्या जुन्या फौजदारी प्रक्रिया संहितेचा समुचित व योग्य अनुवाद), so the terminology stays familiar and consistent with what courts and practitioners in Maharashtra already use, rather than introducing new or inconsistent phrasing.
Concise Law Dictionary (English–English–Marathi)
Dr. Vivek D. Joshi's Concise Law Dictionary (English–English–Marathi), 2026 Edition, is a bilingual legal dictionary built to actually connect terms to their statutory source, not just define them in isolation — every word entry includes the section number and the specific Act or statute it's drawn from, which is a genuinely useful feature for anyone trying to trace terminology back to its legal origin. Important case law references accompany key entries, Latin legal terms are included alongside the everyday vocabulary, and a full list of Central Acts and State Acts rounds out the reference material. This 2026 edition has been brought fully current by incorporating references to the three new criminal law codes — the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 — meaning readers don't need to cross-check terminology against outdated Indian Penal Code or Evidence Act vocabulary. At 820 pages, it's a substantial, dependable desk companion for law students, advocates, translators, and anyone working across English and Marathi legal terminology in Maharashtra.
नवीन प्रमुख फौजदारी कायदे | New Criminal Major Acts
डॉ. विवेक जोशी यांचे न्यू क्रिमिनल मेजर ऍक्ट्स — नवीन प्रमुख फौजदारी कायदे (लागू दि. १-७-२०२४ पासून) चे पॉकेट एडिशन हे स्नो व्हाईटच्या मोठ्या मराठी फौजदारी कायदा संकलनाचे सुटसुटीत, सहज बाळगता येणारे स्वरूप आहे — यात भारतीय न्याय संहिता, २०२३, भारतीय नागरिक सुरक्षा संहिता, २०२३, आणि भारतीय साक्ष अधिनियम, २०२३ हे तिन्ही कायदे एकाच मराठी आवृत्तीत, शॉर्ट नोट्ससह एकत्र दिले आहेत. "पॉकेट" एडिशन असूनही हे हार्डबाउंड पुस्तक तब्बल १,००२ पानांचे आहे, आणि यात भारतीय नागरिक सुरक्षा संहिता (अटकेची नोंद व अपराधांची नोंद) महाराष्ट्र नियम, २०२४ तसेच नवीनतम महाराष्ट्र अधिसूचना समाविष्ट केल्या आहेत. स्नो व्हाईटच्या नवीन फौजदारी कायदा विषयक पुस्तकांचे वैशिष्ट्य असलेली सविस्तर व व्यावहारिक रचना यातही कायम आहे — संपूर्ण अपराधांचे वर्गीकरण, जुन्या व नवीन फौजदारी कायद्यांमधील संबंधित तरतुदी दर्शविणारे तक्ते (प्रत्येक नवीन कलमाच्या खाली संबंधित जुन्या कलमाचा संदर्भ दिलेला), उद्दिष्टे आणि कारणांचे निवेदन, तसेच नव्याने समाविष्ट केलेल्या व वगळलेल्या तरतुदी दर्शविणारे स्वतंत्र तक्ते. मराठी भाषांतर हे शासनाच्या जुन्या भाषांतरित महाराष्ट्र सरकारी राजपत्रांच्या आधारे काळजीपूर्वक करण्यात आले असून, यामुळे महाराष्ट्रातील न्यायालये व वकिलांना आधीच परिचित असलेली कायदेशीर परिभाषा कायम राखली गेली आहे, आणि प्रभावी दिनांकाच्या अधिसूचना योग्य ठिकाणी समाविष्ट केल्या आहेत. जे वकील, पोलीस अधिकारी आणि विद्यार्थी यांना पूर्ण संदर्भासह हलके व सहज बाळगता येणारे पुस्तक हवे आहे, त्यांच्यासाठी हे एक अस्सल आणि उपयुक्त संकलन आहे. Dr. Vivek Joshi's Pocket Edition of New Criminal Major Acts — Navin Pramukh Faujdari Kayde (w.e.f. 1-7-2024) is the compact, portable counterpart to Snow White's larger Marathi criminal law compilation, bringing together the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 in a single Marathi edition with Short Notes. Despite being a "pocket" edition, it runs to a substantial 1,002 pages in hardbound, incorporating the BNSS (Record of Arrest and Commission of Offences) Maharashtra Rules, 2024, along with the latest Maharashtra Notifications. It carries the same detailed transition-focused features that make Snow White's new criminal law titles genuinely practical: a full Classification of Offences, tables mapping corresponding provisions between the old and new criminal laws with the old section reference given directly below each corresponding new section, the Statement of Objects and Reasons, and separate tables showing exactly which provisions were newly introduced and which were omitted. The Marathi translation has been done on the basis of the old translated Maharashtra government gazette (शासनाच्या संबंधित अनुवादित अधिनियमांच्या आधारे करण्यात आलेला समुचित व योग्य अनुवाद), keeping terminology consistent with what practitioners and courts in Maharashtra already recognize, with effective-date notifications incorporated at the appropriate places. A genuinely thorough yet more compact option for advocates, police officers, and students who want the full transition-reference detail in a lighter, more portable format than the standard edition.
New Criminal Major Acts — Navin Pramukh Faujdari Kayde, Revised Marathi Edition with Notes
Dr. Vivek Joshi's New Criminal Major Acts — Navin Pramukh Faujdari Kayde, 2026 Revised Marathi Edition with Notes, is a comprehensive 1,230-page hardbound compilation covering all three new criminal codes — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 — along with the Maharashtra Police Act and the Information Technology Act, 2000, all presented in Marathi with explanatory Short Notes. This edition incorporates the BNSS (Maintenance of Records) Maharashtra Rules (dt. 16-6-2025) and the BNSS (Record of Arrest and Commission of Offences) Maharashtra Rules, 2024, along with the latest Maharashtra Notifications, giving readers the complete current procedural framework, not just the bare codes. What sets it apart as a genuine transition tool is its detailed structure: a full Classification of Offences, tables mapping the corresponding provisions between the old criminal laws and the new ones, with the old section reference given directly below each corresponding new section, plus the Statement of Objects and Reasons and separate tables showing exactly which provisions were newly introduced and which were omitted. The Marathi translation itself has been done carefully on the basis of the old translated Maharashtra government gazette (शासनाच्या संबंधित अनुवादित अधिनियमांच्या आधारे करण्यात आलेला समुचित व योग्य अनुवाद), keeping legal terminology consistent with what courts and practitioners across Maharashtra already recognize, with effective-date notifications incorporated at the appropriate places throughout.

उपविधी सहकारी गृहनिर्माण संस्था मर्यादित (भाडेकरू सहकारी भागीदारी गृहनिर्माण संस्था )
Dr. Vivek Joshi's Marathi Version of the Bye-Laws of the Co-operative Housing Society (Tenant Co-Partnership Housing Society), July 2026 Edition, brings the model bye-laws to Marathi-speaking society members, office bearers, and managing committees in their own language — a genuinely practical difference for many of the people who actually govern housing societies day to day but aren't always comfortable navigating a purely English legal text. At 324 pages, this edition goes well beyond the bye-laws themselves, including Short Notes, Appendices, Annexures, and Enclosures, and incorporating the Latest Amendments to keep the content current. It also specifically covers Deemed Conveyance — one of the most common points of confusion and dispute for housing societies — along with the relevant Sections of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act and Relevant Circulars, giving readers the surrounding legal context rather than just the bye-laws in isolation. A genuinely useful, accessible reference for society members and committee members working in Marathi.
