The Sessions Court is the highest judicial tribunal at the district level and is located in the district headquarters.

Supreme Court: This is the highest judicial tribunal in the country, not at the district level. It is located in the national capital, New Delhi, and handles appeals from the High Courts and other matters of national importance.

Executive Magistrates: These are officials who perform administrative and executive functions, such as maintaining law and order, issuing orders under various acts, etc. They are not judicial tribunals and do not function as courts.

High Court: This is the highest judicial tribunal at the state level, not the district level. It is located in the capital city of each state and hears appeals from the lower courts, including the Sessions Court.

Sessions Court: This is the correct answer. The Sessions Court is the highest court at the district level, handling serious criminal cases and appeals from lower courts within the district. It is located in the district headquarters and is presided over by a Sessions Judge. #Dikshaslearninglab #forensics #UGCNET #Forensics

When sending an exhibit to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) where the stain is on a transportable object such as a knife, crowbar, or firearm, it's crucial to follow proper procedures to preserve the integrity of the evidence:

Scrape or cut the stain area: Carefully scrape or cut out the area of interest where the stain is located. This ensures that the specific area containing the stain is collected for analysis without contaminating or altering the surrounding material.

Packaging: Once the stain area is collected, place it in a suitable container or packaging material that prevents contamination and protects it during transit.

Sealing: Ensure the packaging is securely sealed to prevent any tampering or loss of evidence during transportation.

Documentation: Provide detailed notes and documentation accompanying the exhibit. This should include information such as the location and nature of the stain, any observations made during collection, and any other relevant details that could assist in analysis.

Following these steps helps maintain the chain of custody and ensures that the forensic analysis conducted by the FSL can be accurate and reliable.

The diameter of the medulla in the human brain tends to be largest in middle-aged individuals because the brain, including the medulla, reaches its maximum size and volume during early adulthood and maintains this size through middle age. In contrast:

1. Newborns and Children: The brain is still developing and growing, so the medulla and other brain structures are not yet fully matured or reached their maximum size.

2. Old Age Person: Aging is often associated with atrophy or shrinkage of brain structures, including the medulla, due to factors like neuronal loss and decreased brain volume.

Thus, the medulla's diameter is typically largest during middle age when the brain's overall size and volume are at their peak.
