This book from Avichal Publishing Company (APC) is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Anil Aggrawal, covering forensic medicine and toxicology (न्यायालयिक चिकित्सा एवं विष विज्ञान) for MBBS students. The author is a professor of forensic medicine at Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, and is known chiefly for founding Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology; he has written more than twenty books in the field. That background shows in the text — it reads as the work of a specialist writing for students rather than a compilation.

The book's reputation rests largely on how it is produced. Indian forensic medicine textbooks have traditionally been printed in black and white with weak photographic illustrations, which does the subject no favours with students; this one takes the opposite approach, with heavy illustration, colour photographs and real case studies used to carry the teaching. The material is arranged logically and concisely so that it can be memorised faster, with the core principles of forensic medicine and toxicology explained in a simple, examination-friendly way for students already carrying a heavy load. Reviewers have consistently placed it above the standard Indian texts on both coverage and readability.

In scope, this is a full textbook rather than a revision volume. It runs across thanatology, deaths from other causes, forensic psychiatry, forensic science and the poisons — including the corrosives — as a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The topic list within those sections covers identification and ossification, postmortem changes and putrefaction, asphyxial deaths, drowning, burns, firearm and incised wounds, sexual offences, medical negligence, consent and court procedure, and general and systemic toxicology. Because of that depth, the book is used by postgraduates and practising medical officers as well as by MBBS students, and is often recommended as a reference that holds its value after the examination is over. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
