One Day Workshop on Forensic Science Practices

The School of Law, in collaboration with the Centre for Criminal Investigation & Forensic Science (CCIFS), organised a one-day workshop, “Forensic Science Practices – From Evidence to Truth,” on 22 September 2026 (10:00 AM–4:00 PM) at the Moot Court Hall. Coordinated by Dr. Nidhi Saroj, it brought together students of Law, Engineering and Psychology, with Mr. Darshan Murali (CCIFS) as resource person. Sessions covered:

• Crime scene management, including the chain of custody
• Physical and trace evidence
• Cyber and digital forensics, including forensic imaging and data recovery
• Questioned documents and fingerprint examination
• The role of forensic experts

A live mock crime-scene demonstration in the hall showed cordoning, evidence marking and documentation.

• The workshop was interdisciplinary, reflecting how modern forensic investigation draws on law, technology and psychology.
• The live mock crime scene let students see evidence handling first-hand, and many named it the most valuable part of the day.
• It linked scientific evidence directly to legal proceedings, including how forged or manipulated documents become evidence in court.
