Abstract
To prove guilty of an accuse the prosecution uses different methods even some time there is use of third degree to get the confession. The ancient and famous methodology to prove facts was to prove facts by testimony of witnesses even today throughout the world testimony of the witnesses are relied more than any other evidence. Where eyewitnesses detailed narrates the story of commission of an offence there required no further evidence to prove the facts. Section 59 of Indian Evidence Act support the above assertion it says that all facts shall be proved by oral evidence... but in the world of corruption where caste, religion, race played important role in the criminal investigation it became important take help of science in finding truth although the prosecution objective may be to punish the suspect but the criminal justice system never allowed the prosecution to produce before the trial court only those facts which support the guilty[1]. We can say witnesses are more reliable but might be induced by corrupt means. On the other hand, scientific evidence having potential danger of procedural negligence in obtaining it. No doubt that where scientific evidence meets certain conditions they may create doubt over the trustworthiness of witness’s disposition.
