India entering new era of justice with scientific evidence and forensic expertise: MoS Home Affairs
The minister said the Government of India is fully committed to establishing modern forensic laboratories in every district. He was addressing the directors of central and state forensic science laboratories and other stakeholders at the valedictory session of the two-day meet here. Chandigarh, May 24 (PTI) Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar Saturday said that with the introduction of three new criminal laws, India is entering a new era of justice where scientific evidence and forensic expertise are pivotal to ensuring transparency, speed, and accuracy in investigations. 'Under the recently approved National Forensic Infrastructure Scheme (NAFIS), an amount of Rs 2,254.40 crore will be invested to build and upgrade forensic facilities, train personnel, enhance research, and develop indigenous technology to make India self-reliant in forensic science. 'We aim to ensure mandatory forensic investigation in all crimes involving punishment of more than seven years, and align the criminal justice system with technology-driven evidence collection and analysis,' he said. The two-day national meet concluded at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) here. The national meet focused on aligning forensic services with the country's newly enacted criminal laws to build a justice system that is fast, transparent, and rooted in scientific evidence, said an official statement. Organised under the theme 'Strengthening Forensic Science Services as per the New Criminal Laws', the event brought together the CFSL and state FSL directors, senior officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and experts from law enforcement and academia. The event was attended by the directors of CFSLs and state FSLs from across the country, as well as key officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and law enforcement agencies. The meet aimed to strengthen the forensic ecosystem to support the implementation of the new criminal laws – the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The minister said the four pillars of this transformation will be infrastructure development, skilled human resources, technological upgradation (AI, machine learning, national data networks) and standardisation through SOPs and integration with systems like ICGS and CCTNS. In his inaugural address, Dr SK Jain, director and chief forensic scientist, the Directorate of Forensic Science Services (DFSS), Ministry of Home Affairs, emphasised the transformative role of forensic science in the context of the new criminal codes. Director, CFSL Chandigarh, Dr Sukhminder Kaur, emphasised the importance of collaboration and innovation, noting that forensic science is the backbone of modern criminal investigation.

Review 5-year-old rape survivor's custody: HC
Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court directed authorities to produce a five-year-old girl—reportedly a victim of sexual assault allegedly committed by her father and currently living in a children's home—before a special court on Friday. The special court will assess her mental state and decide whether she can be safely returned to her mother's custody. "For an infinite period, you cannot keep her from the custody of her mother. She is a five-year-old child, not an accused. She is a victim of circumstances," Justice Tirthankar Ghosh told the state. A CFSL report and a judicial statement of the child were submitted on Thursday. The state counsel objected to the immediate handing over of the child to the mother, as she is in a state of trauma. The state informed the court that after the ossification test, the chargesheet against the father would be submitted before the trial court. According to the mother's counsel, Sanjukta Samanta, the father is in police custody. The mother moved a petition before the court, stating that the child was sent to a child home on the pretext of mental health and no statement of the survivor and mother has been recorded to date.

IC Markets Start Now Undo The petition states that the incident took place on April 8. Both parents work as daily labourers at Sankrail in Howrah. On the fateful day, the child was found crying and bleeding from her private part near the field where the parents worked. The mother's claim was that unknown miscreants raped her daughter. It was her claim that after treatment at the hospital, the daughter was taken to the local child home on April 9, and the father was kept with them for further investigation. It was after days that she came to know her husband was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting their child and remanded in police custody. The mother claimed, "Cops has not at all been probing the case and has fabricated her husband as accused in the case and has put him behind the bar illegally without any information to her for an indefinite period."

File photo NEW DELHI: Delhi high court has directed a CBI probe supported by forensic exam into alleged manipulation of JEE (Mains) 2025 scorecards, after two candidates claimed discrepancies in their results. Justice Vikas Mahajan ordered during a hearing on May 14 that the case be referred to Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) and CBI. 'Both parties are ad idem that to find out the truth... it is imperative to refer the matter to experts,' the court said. Next hearing is scheduled for May 23. Candidates must provide registered email IDs to court registry for CFSL verification. CFSL director has been requested to expedite the inquiry and submit findings in sealed cover by May 22, considering urgency as JEE (Advanced) 2025 results will be declared on June 2. Court barred CFSL from disclosing any findings during probe, calling such information potentially sensitive. Petitioners alleged original scorecards from first session of exam, initially available on National Testing Agency (NTA) website, had been replaced with altered versions showing incorrect scores. One petitioner said the original percentile made him eligible for JEE (Advanced), and requested relief. CFSL may contact petitioners for assistance or information, court said. According to NTA, no human interference occurs and entire process is managed by National Informatics Centre. Justice Mahajan allowed one candidate to register for JEE (Advanced), directing that application be processed, though deadline had passed on May 2.
