E. Chitrashekharappa, Dr. N. C. Patnaik

Abstract :

 Advanced scientific technology in general and Forensic Medicine in particular heralded a new dimension in the crime Investigation process. Especially, DNA Analysis has created a revolution in the detection of crime. Because hand–writing and finger–printing for identification of the criminal are not always available on the crime spot, looking for other evidences inevitable. Now–a–days the criminals are much more alert and intelligent and they do not leave finger or foot print impressions on the crime spot. However, even the intelligent criminals leave behind some clue materials on the crime spot like, used cigarette ends, hair roots, urine–stains, semen– stains. But up–till now, there is no such specific Forensic Legislation in India enabling the Investigation Officer, to collect blood sample, urine sample, hair root sample, saliva sample, semen sample or for taking X–ray Photography or Ultra–sonography of the suspects. This has created a great trouble for collection of evidence on the crime–investigation process.
