Stature is one of the important criteria for identification of an individual. Estimation of stature is especially important when the dead body is found in the form of skeleton or only part of a dead body is found. In present study attempts are made to find out the correlation between the stature and foot length of an individual. Total 160 students (80 male & 80 female) of medical college, Jhalawar are included in study. All these students were measured for stature and foot length. The data obtained were analyzed statistically. Regression equations were derived for right and left foot separately and by these regression equations formulae derived. In present study, stature of a person can be estimated within the error of 3.86 to 4.17cm from the foot length.
