Today, forensic science does not confine to matters relating to crime alone. It has become the ever expanding branch of applied science to unravel the mysteries in civil, criminal, regulatory and even non-litigious matters. It aims to overtake the ingenuity of the criminal and serve the society. The more advanced and effective it is, the more protection will it confer upon the public. It not only seeks to establish the time sequence of events but also provides a sub-stratum of knowledge for preventive policies.
Forensic science is in fact a frontier science engaged in exploring new frontiers .
