Admissibility in a Court of Law of Illegally Obtained Evidence and the Right to Privacy | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

When it comes to safeguarding an individual's right to privacy from unreasonable search and seizure inside the course of gathering evidence, India falls far short of legislative safeguards. Both the offender and the victim have specific rights and safeguards in criminal cases. To be admissible, evidence must now meet just one criteria be relevant. Certain cases may suffer from extreme unfairness because there are no regulations prohibiting the introduction of evidence that was acquired illegally. The Law Commission of India conducted a detailed study that proposed changes to the Indian Evidence Act. Despite this, the Law Commission's recommendations were never put into practise.
