This book from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by K.S. Narayan Reddy, revised in this edition by Dr. Dharmaraya Ingale and Dr. Dileep Kumar KB, covering forensic medicine and toxicology (न्यायालयिक चिकित्सा एवं विष विज्ञान). It needs little introduction to anyone who has been through an Indian medical college: reaching a 36th edition places it among the longest-running medical textbooks in the country, and for generations of MBBS students "Reddy" has simply meant this book. This printing is a thoroughly updated and revised reprint of the 36th edition.
This is the full text, not the abridgement — the parent volume of which the Synopsis of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology is the condensed companion. Where the Synopsis is worked through in the weeks before an examination, the Essentials is what a student reads the subject from across the term: identification and age estimation, thanatology and postmortem changes, mechanical injuries and their medicolegal interpretation, asphyxial deaths, sexual offences, medical jurisprudence and negligence, forensic psychiatry, and general and systemic toxicology, each treated at the length the subject actually requires. Buyers choosing between the two should treat this as the primary purchase and the Synopsis as the revision aid.
The 36th edition is prepared as per the revised Competency-Based Medical Education Curriculum of the NMC and includes the latest criminal laws — BNS, BNSS and BSA. That update carries more weight in this subject than in any other, since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam have replaced the Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Evidence Act, and section numbers in forensic medicine are directly examinable — an older edition will teach the wrong ones. The book also carries a scratch code for the Dr. Wise AI chatbot and DigiNerve access, and a scratch-and-validate authenticity code on the cover, worth checking on receipt given how widely this title is counterfeited. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'KS Narayan Reddy's The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology' का यह 36वाँ संस्करण डॉ. धर्मराय इंगले तथा डॉ. दिलीप कुमार के.बी. द्वारा संशोधित किया गया है। 36वें संस्करण तक पहुँचना इस पुस्तक को भारत की सबसे दीर्घकालिक चिकित्सा पाठ्यपुस्तकों में स्थान दिलाता है — पीढ़ियों से MBBS विद्यार्थियों के लिए इस विषय का पर्याय 'रेड्डी' ही रहा है। यह विषय की पूर्ण पाठ्यपुस्तक है, संक्षिप्त संस्करण नहीं; 'The Synopsis of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology' इसी का संक्षिप्त सहयोगी संस्करण है। इसमें पहचान एवं आयु निर्धारण, थैनेटोलॉजी, यांत्रिक चोटें, श्वासावरोधी मृत्यु, लैंगिक अपराध, चिकित्सा विधिशास्त्र एवं लापरवाही, न्यायालयिक मनोरोग विज्ञान तथा सामान्य एवं तंत्रगत विष विज्ञान विस्तार से सम्मिलित हैं। यह संस्करण NMC के संशोधित CBME पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार है तथा इसमें नवीनतम आपराधिक क़ानून — BNS, BNSS एवं BSA — सम्मिलित हैं, जो इस विषय में अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि विधिक धाराएँ सीधे परीक्षा में पूछी जाती हैं। साथ ही Dr. Wise AI चैटबॉट एवं DigiNerve का स्क्रैच कोड भी दिया गया है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
