DIRECTORATE OF FORENSIC SCIENCE SERVICES

DIRECTORATE OF FORENSIC SCIENCE SERVICES

During 1983, the then Scientific Advisory Committee to the Cabinet (SAC-C) under the overall guidance of an Expert Committee chaired by Prof. M. M. Sharma, FRS, recommended that the laboratories in Delhi, Calcutta and Hyderabad must be developed as Science and Technology institutions, functioning in an autonomous fashion. Accordingly, the Government of India declared the forensic science institutions, as Science and Technology institutions. Based on the observations of the Expert Group of the SAC-C and Bureau of Police Research and Development  - BPR&D evolved a master plan for restructuring each Central Forensic Science Laboratory - CFSL of the BPR&D into fifteen scientific divisions. In the first phase, the three Central Forensic Science Laboratories at Calcutta, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh were restructured into six scientific division viz. Biology, Ballistics, Chemistry, Explosive, Physics  and Toxicology. Similarly, the offices of the Government Examiners of Questioned Documents at Shimia, Calcutta, and Hyderabad were strengthened in terms of manpower under a directorate named Directorate of Forensic Science - DFS. Its emblem is crested with Ashoka lion pillar in gold supported by a green coloured circle in which a weight balance, microscope and the acronym ‘DFS’ is written. The outer of the circle has golden wreaths. Below it in a red banner with black border the motto in Sanskrit ‘Nyayartha Vingyanam’ meaning ‘Science for Justice’ is written.
