Title

FORENSIC EVIDENCE AND DNA PROFILING IN CRIMINAL TRIALS UNDER THE BSA, 2023

Abstract

The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA 2023) is a landmark upgradation of India's evidentiary system, legally incorporating scientific and electronic evidence in criminal trials.1 Of these, DNA profiling is a very effective forensic technique that can accurately identify people and add weight to prosecution and defence.2 This paper critically discusses the legal and procedural frame of forensic evidence in India after BSA 2023, examining statutory provisions, judicial patterns, and significant case law, such as landmark decisions in Smt. Sharda v. Dharmpal (2003)3 and Kattavellai @ Devakar v. Tamil Nadu (2025).4 Issues discussed include laboratory capacity, chain-of-custody, risk of contamination,5 and privacy issues under Articles 20(3) and 21 of the Constitution.6 Comparative insights from the U.S., U.K., and EU underscore requirements for admissibility, laboratory accreditation, and protection of genetic data.7 Recommendations for legislative reform, procedural protection, and capacity-building for the sake of ensuring scientifically sound DNA evidence, constitutionally acceptable, and contributing effectively to fair and accurate justice in India conclude the paper.
