ABOUT THE EVENT
Modern society is currently evolving with the knowledge revolution combined with technological advancement. One such development can be found in Forensic Science that has catered to discover the realities by making a connection with science and law. Forensics is a branch of science that analyses the physical / material and documentary evidence. It is an integrative subject that consists of various branches such as Forensic Psychology, Cyber Forensics, DNA Fingerprinting, Forensic Odontology, Forensic Medicine, Questioned Documents, etc. Its use is exponentially increasing with the advent of technology as the mode and methods of commiting crimes and other wrongs is drastically changing.
Forensic evidence also helps in linking criminal / civil law matters and aids law enforcement authorities to narrow the range of possible suspects and to set up patterns of crimes, used in identifying and prosecuting suspects. Thus, the objective of findings from the evidence and expert’s testimony play a vital role in concluding cases either civil or criminal in nature.
