KS Narayan Reddy's The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36/E for MBBS 2nd Year Students | Updated BNS, BNSS & BSA Laws with MLC Forms, Toxicology Antidotes and MCQ Bank: 1

KS Narayan Reddy's The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th Edition is our thoroughly updated and revised MBBS core textbook, prepared as per the Revised Competency-based Medical Education Curriculum (NMC) with every chapter opening against its own official FM competency codes. This edition is fully updated to India's new criminal codes - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) - replacing the earlier IPC/CrPC/Evidence Act framework throughout, including dedicated statutory-mapping tables that cross-reference BNS sections to the relevant subject and punishment. We organize the book across 36 chapters in two sections - Forensic Medicine (23 chapters) and Toxicology (12 chapters) - followed by 14 appendices reproducing key medico-legal Acts (POCSO 2012, MTP 2021, PCPNDT 1994, Mental Healthcare Act 2017, THOTA) and ready-to-use legal-document formats: postmortem examination reports, wound certificates, medical certificates of cause of death, informed consent forms, age certificates, formats for examining dismembered remains, and sexual-violence examination reports. Who This Book Is For: MBBS Students: we write this as a core NMC CBME-curriculum textbook for the Forensic Medicine & Toxicology course, with every chapter mapped directly to its official competency codes. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies the new criminal law framework: our statutory-mapping tables translate the BNS/BNSS/BSA transition into clear, exam-ready reference tables instead of dense bare legal text. Builds case-law fluency: we embed real landmark medico-legal judgments (e.g. Jacob Mathew vs State of Punjab) as teaching "CASE" boxes directly within the relevant chapter topic. Prepares students for practical/OSCE stations: our sample legal-document formats and certificates double as ready references for clinical postings, viva, and OSCE/OSPE stations. Supports structured self-assessment: each chapter closes with a Concept Check of Long Essay, Short Essay, Short Answer, and Multiple Choice Questions with an answer key. Key Features: Fully updated to the new BNS, BNSS, and BSA criminal codes, with statutory-mapping tables cross-referencing sections to subject and punishment. Every chapter opens with its official NMC CBME competency codes, keeping coverage directly aligned to the current curriculum. Real landmark case-law "CASE" boxes and comparative tables (e.g. professional negligence vs infamous conduct) throughout both the Forensic Medicine and Toxicology sections. 14 appendices with key medico-legal Acts (POCSO, MTP, PCPNDT, Mental Healthcare Act, THOTA) and ready-to-use sample legal-document formats and certificates. Chapter-end Concept Check (LAQ/SAQ/MCQ with answer keys) plus bundled Dr. Wise AI chatbot access and the diginerve app (video lectures, question bank, notes).
