Welcome to Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratories

Forensic science is the application of science and technology to the detection and investigation of crime. Forensic science has shaped the world of justice, signifying the examination of crime with the help of modern and advanced technology. Forensic Science Laboratories play a vital role in resolving all civil and criminal cases. The main function of forensic science laboratories is to provide an unbiased scientific opinion on the different types of evidential material referred to them by the investigating agencies and in turn, help the judiciary. These evidence act as mute witnesses against the perpetrators and are impartial. A forensic scientist also helps police in the collection of the right evidence material from the scene of the crime, during the investigation. The Forensic scientists thus form indispensable scientific advisors to the investigation team. Their professionalism ensures that the independence and integrity of findings are in no way compromised by actual involvement in the process..
