The NyayaShlok Journal of Forensic Evidence & Criminal Law publishes rigorous scholarship at the intersection of forensic science, the law of evidence, and criminal justice. It is a forum for jurists, forensic experts, investigators, and criminologists to examine how evidence is generated, tested, admitted, and weighed — and how criminal law and procedure respond.
The journal aims to advance scholarly understanding, inform law reform and practice, and provide a credible, peer-reviewed venue for original research in its field. It welcomes doctrinal, empirical, comparative, and interdisciplinary work from scholars, practitioners, and research students alike.
