INTRODUCTION
Forensic Science is the application of science which with its capabilities and facilities provides accurate
and timely results for the dissemination of justice speedily. The main aim of Forensic setup is to link the
crime with criminal on scientific grounds and thereby fair and transparent investigations and proceedings
of the case.
The constantly changing pattern in the execution of crimes has also posed a challenge to Forensic Science
Laboratories and necessitates the need to strengthen the laboratory examination practices. Directorate of
Forensic Science Services (DFSS) under Ministry of Home Affairs is playing a vital role to strengthen the
Forensic services in India by providing support to establish Hi-tech Forensic Science Laboratories and to
upgrade their human as well as technical resources.
However, DFSS often receives requests from various state Forensic Science Laboratories and other
stakeholders regarding basic requirements and infrastructure/equipment required to kick start the
laboratory.
Keeping in view the requirement of all the stakeholders, Directorate of Forensic Science Services, MHA,
Govt of India constituted a Committee by involving experts of Central and State FSLs vide letter No.
37(19)/2020-DFSS/6890-91 Dated June 5, 2020 (copy enclosed) to develop this manual with the sole aim
to provide assistance for the establishment /up-gradation of Forensic Science Laboratories in the country.
