Abstract

With the development of science and technology in the legal field, forensic science has contributed vastly to ensurethat justice is administered to those who are affected. DNA Evidence has played an important role in the criminaljustice system over the recent years. DNA findings have often helped to determine the culprits of several cold caseswhere sufficient traditional evidences were not present. Such evidences aid criminal investigations and helps toestablish a link between the crime and the perpetrators. Hence, DNA evidence is crucial to protect victim’s rightsand solve grave crimes like murder, rape, sexual assault etc. Further, DNA evidence is also utilised to exonerateaccused persons in crimes and for the identification of victims in crimes where the body is severally damaged.This article aims to understand DNA evidence, its importance in ensuring Justice and the various legal challengesinvolved in introducing such evidence before court. The research aims to also determine the need to developand amend criminal legislation to include DNA evidence and the need of a DNA database to ensure immediateidentification of criminals.

DNA证据在印度刑事司法系统中的作用和重要性
随着法律领域科学技术的发展,法医学为确保受害者得到司法公正作出了巨大贡献。近年来,DNA证据在刑事司法系统中发挥了重要作用。在一些传统证据不足的悬案中,DNA的发现常常有助于确定罪犯。这些证据有助于刑事调查,并有助于在犯罪和肇事者之间建立联系。因此,DNA证据对于保护受害者的权利和解决谋杀、强奸、性侵犯等严重犯罪至关重要。此外,DNA证据还被用来为犯罪中的被告开脱罪名,以及在尸体受到严重损害的犯罪中用于查明受害者身份。本文旨在了解DNA证据,它在确保司法公正方面的重要性,以及在法庭上引入此类证据所涉及的各种法律挑战。该研究还旨在确定是否需要制定和修改刑事立法,以包括DNA证据,以及是否需要建立DNA数据库,以确保立即识别罪犯。
