This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Gautam Biswas, written for MBBS students studying forensic medicine and toxicology (न्यायालयिक चिकित्सा एवं विष विज्ञान). It is a comprehensive textbook designed to equip medical students with the essential knowledge of the subject, and it is a long-established undergraduate title — previously published as Review of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology — that provides a clear and systematic introduction to the field, following a student-friendly approach and explaining medicolegal principles, forensic pathology and toxicology in simple and accessible language. Its structured presentation helps learners understand the role of forensic medicine in both clinical practice and the legal system. The book covers the principles of forensic science, methods of investigation and the legal aspects of medicine; it introduces the fundamental concepts including the role of forensic experts, autopsy procedures and the importance of evidence collection; and it discusses the different classifications of death — natural, accidental, suicidal and homicidal — along with the medical and legal implications of each, together with identification, injuries, death investigation and sexual offences. This sixth edition is prepared as per the revised and updated CBME curriculum of the NMC and includes the latest criminal laws — BNS, BNSS and BSA — within the text, which matters more here than in any other subject, since those three Acts replaced the Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Evidence Act. The edition adds clinical and pathological aspects, and comes with online videos and clinically integrated, image-based MCQs, along with scratch-code access to the publisher's Dr. Wise AI chatbot. Dr. Gautam Biswas MD is Professor and Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
