Abstract :

Personal identification through fingerprints has been recognized since long time and is regarded as the greatest contribution to the law enforcement. Through its unique characteristics, the science of fingerprint provides a special service in the admission of justice and also in other areas where positive identification is of paramount importance. Study of fingerprints is known as Dactylography or Dactyloscopy, and at present it is also known as Henry–Galton system of identification. Identification by this method is absolute, without any chance of error, provided there is no fallacy in the procedure. This study was conducted on patients attending the Out Patients Department of Government Rajaji Hospital , Govt.Madurai Medical College, Madurai, to know the distribution of various finger print patterns. The most frequent pattern among population of Madurai and neighbouring districts is Ulnar loop .
