Abstract

The application of DNA evidence has brought about a significant transformation in criminal investigations and legal proceedings on a global scale, including within the jurisdiction of India. This abstract examines the crucial use of DNA evidence in criminal cases in India, highlighting its importance, difficulties, and legal consequences. DNA profiling provides unmatched precision in identifying persons, connecting suspects to crime scenes, and absolving the innocent. In India, this technology is used in a wide range of criminal cases, including murder and sexual assaults, to enhance standard forensic techniques. Nevertheless, the incorporation of DNA evidence encounters obstacles such as procedural deficiencies, constraints in forensic infrastructure, and concerns regarding its acceptance in court proceedings. This abstract analyzes the most recent legislative advancements and judicial rulings that have influenced the utilization of DNA evidence in Indian courts. The statement emphasizes the necessity of implementing strong protocols, providing training, and considering ethical aspects in order to successfully utilize the potential of DNA within India's legal system, thus ensuring a fair and equitable criminal justice process.
