Criminal Practical Legal Drafts in line with New Criminal Laws
Sushan Kunjuraman's Criminal Practical Legal Drafts in line with New Criminal Laws, 9th Revised and Enlarged Edition, is a genuinely practical drafting manual rather than a bare act — at 1,044 pages, it's built entirely around ready-reference formats for criminal law practice, fully updated for the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. What makes this edition genuinely comprehensive is how far it extends beyond just Lower and Sessions Court paperwork — it includes formats for Metropolitan Magistrate Courts, Special Courts, the High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India, as well as more specialized formats that most drafting books skip entirely: jail correspondence, Family Court matters, immovable property sale transactions and agreements, legal notices, the State Human Rights Commission, the Juvenile Justice Board, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. For criminal lawyers who need working drafts rather than just the law itself — and need them updated for the new criminal codes — this is a genuinely thorough, one-stop reference.
Civil Practical Legal Drafts
Sushan Kunjuraman's Civil Practical Legal Drafts, 2nd Edition, is the civil-side counterpart to the same author's Criminal Practical Legal Drafts — a working drafting manual rather than a bare act, at 420 pages. What stands out here is the sheer breadth of forums covered: formats for High Courts, City Civil Courts, Small Cause Courts, Co-operative Courts, Central Administrative Tribunals, Consumer Courts, Labour Courts, Motor Accident Claims Tribunals, and Family Courts, along with formats for Divisional Jt. Registrar Courts, Registrar Courts, and the Charity Commissioner's Court — jurisdictions that most drafting books leave out entirely. It also includes practical essentials like Legal Notice formats, General Correspondence formats, and dedicated drafts for Injunctions and Specific Performance Suits — two of the most frequently filed civil reliefs. For civil practitioners who work across multiple forums rather than a single court, this genuinely saves the trouble of hunting down separate specialized drafting manuals for each one.
