Forensic science is the application of principles of science and technology to support legal decision-making in matters of Criminal and Civil Law. It involves presenting facts during criminal and civil investigations and in uncovering the truth, ensuring that conclusions are based on objective, reliable, and scientifically verified evidence rather than speculation or bias. The different branches of forensics like toxicology and anthropology, have helped solve real-life cases like Micheal Jackson’s murder case and the Nirbhaya gang-rape case. This research paper explores the different ways in which human DNA has served the world to solve various criminal cases and paternity concerns. It covers the use of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) to accurately and efficiently identify individuals and create unique DNA profiles. The study explores techniques like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), fluorescent probe analysis, and advanced sequencing methods such as Sanger sequencing and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), highlighting their critical role in modern DNA analysis and identification. While delving into the details and the processes used in solving real-life cases, this research paper also discusses the legal and ethical issues surrounding the processing and analysis of DNA, and the potential opportunities for future developments in forensic science. The crucial role played by DNA analysis data, due to its reliability and objectivity, in deducing the incidents that might have occurred prior to a criminal event, and as evidence for zeroing in on the suspected criminal, in resolving real life court cases has been highlighted in this research paper. As rightly said by Blake Edwards, American film director and producer, “Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game.”
