The 36th edition of KSN Reddy’s Forensic Medicine and Toxicology has been fully revised to reflect recent advances in law, medicine, and forensic science. Aligned with the CBME curriculum of the NMC, it serves as a clear and authoritative guide for undergraduates, while expanded coverage of advanced topics such as ballistics, DNA fingerprinting, toxicology, and medicolegal aspects of surgery makes it equally valuable for postgraduates, medical officers, and experts. With special attention to the BNS, BNSS, HOTA amendments, and sexual offence laws, this edition bridges classroom learning with real-world medicolegal practice.
