Abstract
The path taken by people in the legal system
is greatly influenced by the intersection of forensic science and criminal law.
In criminal law, forensic science, especially techniques like narcoanalysis
tests, presents a complex issue. While these methods are viewed as tools for
truth and justice, they also raise serious ethical, legal, and human rights
concerns. This research looks into the significant effects of these
controversial tests on individuals in the legal system. The focus is on their
changing legal status in India, their scientific reliability, and their
admissibility as evidence. Through case studies, the methodology explores their
real-world impacts on the constitutional rights and mental health of the
accused. The main finding is that these methods have a deep impact on an
individual’s journey from investigation to conviction and possible
rehabilitation. This highlights a major conflict between scientific progress
and basic human rights.
