| 520 | _aThe Supreme Court’s judgment in Kattavellai @ Devakar v State of Tamil Nadu (2025) sets forth directions to bring about procedural uniformity in cases involving DNA evidence. The judiciary’s plunge into the legislative domain reflects a constitutional obligation to create an “interim law” where statutory and executive silence imperils procedural fairness and individual rights. However, the directions fall short of prescriptive adequacy and leave unresolved the deeper challenge of evidentiary reliability. The transitory character of judicial legislation calls for a comprehensive statutory enactment to remedy systemic shortcomings in DNA evidence governance.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/51/law-and-society/interstitial-legislation-and-dna-evidence.html | ||
