Admissibility of Forensic Evidence in Investigations: A Comparative Study Between India, UK & USA

The present study discusses the standards of admissibility of forensic evidence in trials, as well as a comparative analysis of the principles of admissibility in four countries U.S.A, UK, Germany and India. First, various standards of evidence and their contents are tabulated, and then the concepts of admissibility such as validity, reliability, usefulness, and efficiency are addressed. The second issue discusses the laws of admissibility in the United Kingdom, including the relationship of the four admissibility tests, namely Assistance, Relevant Expertise, Impartiality, and Evidentiary Reliability, as well as the context of the Law Commission Report, Law Commission Recommendation, and Government Response. Finally, the standards governing the acceptance of scientific evidence in India are explored.
