Abstract: 

This article discusses the notion of 'chain of custody' in forensic practice and its significance in the law of evidence. The need for this discussion arose from the numerous newspaper articles and blogs that highlighted and critiqued handling of forensic samples in Sri Lanka especially related to a recent case that is under investigation.
