ABSTRACT
The authors contributing to this paper seek to delve into the emerging world of electronic evidence and its numerous intricacies. With the augmentation of computers and the information available by means of it, it is a well established fact that the internet space is not free from the attempt and commission of crimes. The authors, through the course of the paper will look into the provisions and the current position of the law formulated for electronic evidence by exploring landmark judgments. We will go on to observe that there is no definite and specific rules and regulations made for the collection, preservation and authentication of electronic evidence. This gives way for it being misused and posing as a threat to the privacy of multiple individuals. The new dynamics underscore the necessity for procedural theories being designed for the use of digital evidence.
