Forensic science plays a crucial role in directing criminal investigations and helping to achieve fair judgments in the courts. Although the recent advances provide faster and accurate forensic services, they are expensive and often exceed the capacity of government forensic laboratories- in developing countries like India.
Moreover, recent reports suggest that government authorities outsource the majority of the advanced forensic cases to private labs. The probable answer for this is the lack of advanced technologies and the availability of jobs for the skilled personnel in government forensic services.
