This 34th edition has been updated and revised. Certain topics, such as forensic ballistics, regional injuries, anaesthetic and operative deaths, DNA fingerprinting and blood stains have been dealt with in detail to meet the requirements of medical officers involved in medicolegal work and postgraduate students. A few new procedures to be followed in dealing with medicolegal cases, and virtual autopsy have been incorporated. 150 classical colour photographs have been added to make the subject easier. This book has no parallel and still is in high demand by undergraduates, postgraduates, teachers, medical officers, lawyers and researchers.
