Title

DNA Profiling as a Forensic Science Technique Used in Criminal Justice System in India: An Overview

Abstract

Crime has always existed in the society since the dawn of human civilization and it has never been on halt. The commission of crime and the techniques used have evolved with the advent of science and technology. Because criminals have become sophisticated and leave no evidence behind, forensic science has found its prominent place in dealing with criminal activity. So, in resolving crimes biological evidences are implicated and they can be traced only with the help of forensic science technique. The essential “building block of inheritance” is DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid. DNA is an organic component found in every cell of human body giving every person a unique genetic blueprint. It can be traced through bones, blood, hair, saliva, sperm, or any other parts of the body. DNA Profiling being an innovative and groundbreaking technology have paved out its way in dealing with smallest of biological evidence with utmost certainty. DNA profiling as scientific evidence is significantly faster, more precise, reliable, and definitive than any human evidences, and it can withstand the scrutiny of the court to ascertain guilt or innocence of an accused or suspected person. DNA profiling is used to ascertain criminals and/or suspected persons with “incredible accuracy”. DNA technology is having a stronger impact in making sure that the criminal justice system is fair and accurate. In this paper, a brief introduction is given relating to DNA, its use and application and the significance of DNA evidences in criminal judicial system in India. The existing legislation on recognition and admissibility of DNA evidences have also been briefly discussed. And lastly, how the Indian judiciary has showed its creativity in admitting or allowing for DNA evidences has also been discussed through various prominent case laws. The need for specific legislation on DNA technology in India is need of an hour. The uniform mode of citation has been used throughout the paper following Indian Law Institute mode of citation.
