Therefore, anything that has to do with Courts came to be known as 'forensic'. The word 'forensic; has its root in the word 'forum' which originally meant 'open space' or 'market place'. With the development of the medical science the word now refers to the science which helps the Law Courts to medical jurisprudence, assisting the courts to arrive at the right conclusions by application of medical knowledge to the elucidation of doubtful questions in a court of justice. There are evidences for the commencement of forensic activities as early as 1849. The Forensic section of the Police Department was started in India, in the year 1959 with a lab of the Police Department, a chemical lab and another for prevention and implementation, put together. It was in the year 1976 that a two year Post Graduate course in Forensic Science was started, with the approval of the University of Chennai and in 1981, the Ph.
