KS Narayan Reddy’s The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th Edition is our thoroughly updated and revised MBBS core textbook, prepared as per the Revised Competency-based Medical Education Curriculum (NMC) with every chapter opening against its own official FM competency codes. This edition is fully updated to India’s new criminal codes – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) – replacing the earlier IPC/CrPC/Evidence Act framework throughout, including dedicated statutory-mapping tables that cross-reference BNS sections to the relevant subject and punishment.

We organize the book across 36 chapters in two sections – Forensic Medicine (23 chapters) and Toxicology (12 chapters) – followed by 14 appendices reproducing key medico-legal Acts (POCSO 2012, MTP 2021, PCPNDT 1994, Mental Healthcare Act 2017, THOTA) and ready-to-use legal-document formats: postmortem examination reports, wound certificates, medical certificates of cause of death, informed consent forms, age certificates, formats for examining dismembered remains, and sexual-violence examination reports.

Who This Book Is For:

MBBS Students: we write this as a core NMC CBME-curriculum textbook for the Forensic Medicine & Toxicology course, with every chapter mapped directly to its official competency codes.

Why This Book Helps:

Simplifies the new criminal law framework: our statutory-mapping tables translate the BNS/BNSS/BSA transition into clear, exam-ready reference tables instead of dense bare legal text.Builds case-law fluency: we embed real landmark medico-legal judgments (e.g. Jacob Mathew vs State of Punjab) as teaching “CASE” boxes directly within the relevant chapter topic.Prepares students for practical/OSCE stations: our sample legal-document formats and certificates double as ready references for clinical postings, viva, and OSCE/OSPE stations.Supports structured self-assessment: each chapter closes with a Concept Check of Long Essay, Short Essay, Short Answer, and Multiple Choice Questions with an answer key.

Key Features:
