Background: Scientific evidence plays a crucial role in modern legal systems, enabling fact-finders to arrive at
logical conclusions in a variety of cases. However, the credibility of scientific evidence can be a major challenge for
judges and juries. Evidence laws provide limitations on the admissibility and presentation of evidence in criminal
proceedings, protecting a defendant’s right to a fair trial and enabling the efficient conduct of criminal trials.
Forensic science has become an essential component of criminal justice, aiding in the identification of the guilty
and the prevention of wrongful convictions. As such, the use of scientific evidence in criminal proceedings must
continue to be prioritized and protected.
Aim-The goal is to examine how forensic science plays a part in the judicial system, particularly how it may be
used to establish facts, establish guilt, and provide justice.
Methods-A review of the literature on a few of the older studies from various journals and databases was
conducted. They searched a computerized database. Studies that were deemed relevant to the current objective
were picked at random.
Result- Forensic evidence plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system in India. It provides an objective and
scientific basis for establishing the guilt or innocence of a suspect, identifying perpetrators of crime, and establishing
the facts of a case. The use of forensic evidence in criminal trials promotes transparency and accountability in the
criminal justice system and helps to ensure that justice is served.
