Identification of DNA for the Proceedings of Criminal Investigation

LAW

While forensic DNA analysis is most often employed to catch criminals in the act, it is also utilized in civil disputes to determine paternity when it is in question. The most common situations in which paternity is contested are those involving affiliation orders, divorce, and doubts about the child's authenticity. Criminal investigations' reliance on DNA evidence has increased in recent years. DNA testing has aided law enforcement in less-developed countries in identifying culprits and solving particularly heinous crimes like rape, murder, and murder with rape. The science of DNA identification and its use in criminal investigations, trials, appeals, and post-conviction processes are the focus of this study. It covers the primary advantages and disadvantages of DNA identification and its expanding importance in the Indian criminal justice system. It is our sincere wish that the problems plaguing DNA technology will be resolved soon.
