Title: The changing concepts of actus reus & mens rea in the contemporary society

This paper discusses about all the possibilities or about all the applications of the common law doctrine of mens rea and actus reus in criminal jurisprudence on whole. The study of the researcher discovers that the significant provisos of the Criminal Code are exhaustive in nature for considering and deciphering the criminal intent of any person, if any, of an accused in view of conviction and sentencing the person for the criminal act. This paper agrees totally with the principle that codifies statutes contain sufficient provisions that are enough to consider any relevant legal issue within a particular jurisdiction, it would no longer be in connection with to undertake a voyage or have to revise to any legal system outside the jurisdiction. At extreme, one can only be convinced by such extra-jurisdictional concerns. This paper finally makes some recommendations towards the improvement of the justice system in the relevant matters. Critical and hermeneutical approaches with doctrinal method constitute the methodology.
