Preface
This concise book is being written mainly for the benefit of undergraduate and postgraduate students, who are preparing to face the oral and practical examinations in the specialty of Forensic Medicine. An attempt has been made to help the students in improving the knowledge in an easy and simpler way by providing line diagrams on the selected and important topics to give a clear idea and proper guidance on the subject. In preparing this concise volume, various textbooks have been consulted. I hope this will benefit undergraduate and postgraduate students taking examinations. I am grateful to my friends and colleagues for their help.
