ABSTRACT

The admissibility of evidence is a cornerstone of judicial fairness, yet its application often faces challenges due to procedural rigidity and evolving legal complexities. Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer's judgments demonstrate a transformative approach to evidence law, striking a balance between strict statutory adherence and flexibility in upholding substantive justice. His emphasis on natural justice, protection of marginalised groups, and ensuring fair trial standards underscores the need to analyse his interpretations. This research paper examines Justice Iyer's landmark rulings to explore how his progressive insights on the admissibility of evidence have shaped judicial precedents, addressing gaps in procedural technicalities while reinforcing fairness in legal proceedings.
