The increase in cybercrime and the role of electronic evidence have heavily influenced the way criminal investigations are conducted in India nowadays. It is essential to examine the shifts in policies and practices related to digital forensics, the acceptance of electronic evidence, and the investigation of cybercrime. When electronic evidence first emerged, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (IEA), were used to guide its use in courts. The enactment of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA), introduced new changes that expanded the scope for handling electronic evidence. This paper, employing a qualitative legal and case study methodology, examines the rise of electronic evidence in courts and its legal implications. It examines how the BSA, 2023, compares to the provisions of the IEA, 1872. Digital forensics primarily assists in managing and verifying electronic evidence presented in such cases. Retaining control over the chain of custody and using proper tools for electronic evidence stabilises and secures the collected electronic evidence. However, the field faces challenges such as imbalanced infrastructure, stringent regulations, and a shortage of well-qualified forensic experts. It analyses current challenges in both cybercrime investigation and admissibility, and recommends reforms geared towards solving complex cases and permitting the use of electronic evidence in courtrooms. Because modern cybercrime is highly complex, the solution lies in strengthening the relationships between laws and forensic practices.
