Abstract
Identification of person is an important task for Forensic Expert as asked by Investigating Officer to solve the crime, since Identification is first step to investigate the crime. Identification is easy when the whole body is available.

Total 257 students (120 males and 137 females) between age group of 18-25 years are selected.The height of each student, length of both right and left Foot of each student is measured by the same observer with the same instrument and at the same time.After collection of data, it is subjected to statistical analysis. The results of the present study indicate that foot lengths can be efficiently used for estimation of stature. In present study male foot length can give better prediction of stature compared to female.
