This paper will focus on the challenges in functions and services provided by forensic science laboratories within the criminal justice system in India. We have analyzed the current status and organizational structure of forensic science laboratories across the country, as well as their challenges and important contributions to the justice system. It is important to note that forensic science laboratories exist to provide reliable scientific evidence to the legal system so that justice can be achieved. The role played by forensic science laboratories across India is crucial, and their contribution to the justice system is invaluable. Advancements in technology, infrastructure and expertise should be acknowledged and utilized to provide the legal system with the most reliable scientific evidence possible.
