Important Sections of CRPC

WritingLaw.
com
Here is a list of all essential sections of CrPC. Once you finish reading
the Criminal Procedure Code PDF, that you just bought, use the list of
most important sections to revise every day.
Most of the sections mentioned here have their names written. Once
you get a grip of CrPC, use this PDF, and keep brushing. It will help
you quickly revise and know the section names.
Always remember that it is better to study five new topics and revise
five old topics everyday than read ten new topics in a day.
Make sure that what you learn stays in your mind. There is little
benefit in learning, not revising, and thus eventually forgetting. Ensure
that whatever little you study, you revise, and have it at the tip of your
tongue.

The list is significant, and many sections have been covered. Still, if
you think to add to it, you may leave a comment below or contact me
on WhatsApp. I will update it.
For CrPC Exam
Before you sign off, I thought I must let you know that the syllabus of
a subject (say CrPC) for different law exams are not always the same.
Thus, it would be best if you do not discard other sections, without
having a comprehensive look at your syllabus.
You have seen the CrPC bare act. I have seen it too. We both know a
person can not read the entire CrPC or even all the sections listed
here in one day. Therefore it is sensible to make use of technology and
use the PDF you bought or add the Code of Criminal Procedure to
your phone screen and read a few sections every day in just one touch.
Rome was not built in a day.
Be slow, but be consistent.
