    3. Forensic Medicine 
    4. All the above
Show Answer

4) Mathieu Orfila is considered the father of:

2.The following method is used in systematic search at the scene of crime:

    1. Spiral method
    2. Grid method 
    3. Zone Method
    4. All the above
Show Answer

All the listed methods—Spiral, Grid, and Zone—are used in the systematic search of a crime scene, depending on the size and nature of the area. The Spiral method is ideal for open areas, the Grid method provides thorough coverage with overlapping searches, and the Zone method is effective for dividing complex scenes into manageable sections. Therefore, all the above methods are valid and commonly used.

    2. Narcotics 
    3. Insects 
    4. Skeletal Remains
Show Answer

3. Insects
Forensic entomology
is the branch of forensic science that deals with the study of insects, particularly those that colonize decomposing remains. It helps in determining the time since death (postmortem interval), movement of the body, and sometimes even the cause of death. Insects like flies and beetles are often analyzed to estimate how long a person has been dead, making this field crucial in homicide and death investigations.

5. Arrange in proper sequence, According to the trial in a criminal case : 

(i) Cross examination 

(ii) Examination in-chief 

(iii) Re-examination 

(iv) Charge formation 

Codes

  1. (i), (iv), (iii) and (ii) 
  2. (iv), (ii), (i) and (iii) 
  3. (ii), (iii), (i) and (iv) 
  4. (iv), (i), (ii) and (iii)
Show Answer

(2.) In a criminal trial, the proper sequence begins with Charge formation (iv), where the formal accusation is read and explained to the accused. This is followed by the Examination-in-chief (ii), where the prosecution or defense presents their witness to provide testimony. Next comes the Cross-examination (i), in which the opposing party questions the witness to test credibility and uncover inconsistencies. Finally, Re-examination (iii) allows the original party to clarify any issues raised during cross-examination. This sequence ensures a fair and structured process for evaluating evidence in court.
