Identification of human being is always a problem for scientists and is based upon scientific principles. Finger prints, dental data, anthropometry and DNA analysis are the tools used for identification purposes. The new arriving tool in the field of personal identity is cheiloscopy i.e. study of lip prints which are unique for every individual and behold the potential for identification purpose. If lip prints are found at scene of crime, the presence or absence of a person can be ruled out from the scene of crime. The present study comprises of 150 students of SKZMDC in the age group of 20-23 year out of which 50 are males and 100 females. Lip prints were collected and matched according to Suzuki and Tsushihashi's classification. The most common pattern found in female was II, while type III was predominant among males. Conclusion: Studies show lip prints have great potential to establish individuality, show gender variation and remain unchanged forever
