dc.description.abstractMedico legal autopsy examination is performed by the forensic expert with a view to searching primarily for the cause of death. It is performed on the instructions of legal authority in circumstances relating to suspicious, sudden, obscure, unnatural, litigious or criminal deaths and the information so derived, to be applied for legal purpose to assist the course of justice. Medico legal autopsies differ in the purpose and procedure from pathological autopsies but sometimes they overlap with each other at various levels. Histopathology examination is commonly asked by autopsy surgeon to establish the cause of death when he recognizes any morbid anatomical changes in tissues and suspect that it may be the reason for cessation of vital functions of deceased. During the period of three years from 2005-2007, a retrospective study was conducted at PDU Medical College, Rajkot to know weather routine histo-pathological examination is essential in medico legal autopsies or it is creating only an extra burden over the pathologists, autopsy surgeon and law enforcing agencies in any way.en_US
