Evaluating The Multiple Dimensions of DNA Evidence In India

Abstract DNA profiling stands as one of the most significant breakthroughs in forensic science, enabling the identification of individuals even from minimal biological samples, such as a tiny tissue fragment or a drop of blood. This technique has drastically transformed the investigation of various criminal cases, including those involving rape, paternity disputes, and murder. It has also found applications in forensic odontology. Despite its power and dependability as a scientific method, the use of DNA profiling in legal contexts raises important questions regarding legal reforms. One major area of concern is the acceptance of DNA evidence in courts, which is a critical issue for legal professionals and forensic scientists globally. It is essential to approach this scientific evidence with a clear legal framework. As such, this paper aims to inform forensic experts and odontologists about the admissibility and evaluation of DNA evidence in court, with a particular focus on the Indian judicial system's laws regarding evidence admissibility. Additionally, the paper delves into the reliability, legal value, and constitutional considerations related to DNA evidence. The research for this paper includes a review of literature on DNA evidence and its admissibility, gathered from electronic databases such as Google, PubMed, and EMBASE, spanning from 1975 to August 2022. Keywords: DNA, Admissibility, Reliability, Evidentiary Value, Electronic database.
