Abstract :
For successful prosecution in all criminal cases there is an absolute need to establish the chain of events beyond reasonable doubt and to the satisfaction of the presiding officers in a Court of law. The significance of fingerprints in personal identification of suspects is well recognized in scientific criminal investigation but with the sophistication of crime techniques by the criminals the chances of latent fingerprints left behind at the scene of crime have become remote hence physical evidences such as hair fibers and their analysis are gaining importance in personal identification and individualization . The present study has been conducted to know the role of human hair in personal identification and Individualization. A total of 25 males and 25 females’ hairs were studied and from each sex 625 strands were studied during a 1 year duration at department of Forensic Medicine, Osmania Medical College. It was observed that the variations in the hair were present not only in the male and female gender but also from the same individual. Thus a hair analysis plays an important as an evidence in crime investigation.
