  Last Will may prevail over earlier Will:- In case of dispute between earlier and subsequent parts of a Will,the subsequent part of the Will will prevails ( Kaivelikkal Ambunhi & ors vs H.Ganesh Bhandary,(1995) 5 SCC-444 & Uma Devi Nambiar & ors vs TC Sidhan,( 2004) 2 SCC-321. In case of “ Jasbir Singh vs Jaspal Singh & ors ”,2016 SCC Online P & H-3416,it   was held that the last will would prevail and the previous Will automatically deemed to have been cancelled, even in the absence of any specific clause.

Scientific and Legal Dimensions of DNA Technology

            DNA fingerprinting, profiling, or typing is widely considered the most significant contribution of science and technology in the twentieth century. This breakthrough is anticipated to become the universal identification technique of the twenty-first century. This emerging methodology has completely revolutionized the entire world by distinguishing every individual from another. Consequently, it plays a momentous role in both criminal and civil justice delivery systems today. It serves as an invaluable tool for the accurate identification of ancient or fragmented skeletal remains. Medical professionals also rely heavily on this technology for the detection of early onset diseases. Furthermore, it allows for the proactive mapping and diagnosis of various severe inherited disorders. This high-utility identification power stems directly from the biological blueprint found within living organisms.

            Deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, is the complex chemical structure that uniquely identifies each organism. An organism’s complete set of genetic material is known scientifically as its genome. This unique chemical compound acts as the fundamental building block of the entire genome. Structurally, DNA molecules are located securely inside an organism’s microscopic cellular chromosomes. A chromosome is a specialized structure found directly within the central cell nucleus. These structures contain genes, which function as the physical units of heredity passed across generations. Chromosomes themselves are composed of dense chains of DNA wrapped tightly around protective proteins. Each biological parent contributes exactly one chromosome to each pair of a child's chromosomes. Therefore, children inherit half of their genetic chromosomes from their mothers and half from their fathers.

            Every living organism is made up of individual cells that encompass these hereditary chromosomes. These nuclear chromosomes harbor our unique DNA strands like an organized biological database. The specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene is located is known as a locus. This designated chromosomal locus is what contains the stretch of DNA targeted during forensic evaluation. Forensic scientists analyze this specific locus to observe and document genetic variability between individuals. To extract these profiles, scientists rely almost exclusively on two primary laboratory methodologies. The first major technique is known as restriction fragment length polymorphism, or RFLP. The second dominant method involves polymerase chain reaction, which amplifies short tandem repeats. While alternative genetic testing methods exist, they generally lack the required technical precision. Ultimately, RFLP and PCR stand as the only globally accepted standards for absolute forensic accuracy.

  Applicability of CPC & Limitation Act in Writ Proceedings:-   The issue concerning applicability of the provisions of the CPC in the writ proceedings is no longer res integra in view clear pronouncement made by the Supreme Court in “ Puran Singh and Others v State of Punjab and Others” reported in (1996) 2 SCC-205 , wherein the Supreme Court was dealing with an issue as to whether the provisions contained under Order 22 of the CPC are applicable to proceedings under Article 226 & 227 of the Constitution of India. The question as to whether provisions of the Act, 1963 would apply in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is also no longer res integra in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in “Smt.

golden principles of circumstantial evidence

-
                 In “ Sharad Birdichand Sarda vs State of Maharashtra” :AIR 1984 SC-1622,the SC elaborated the five golden principles of circumstantial evidence laid down in Hanumant Vs.State of MP:AIR 1952 SC-343 which has been strictly abided by the SC itself in various leading cases and therefore are very important. 1.      The circumstances from which the conclusion of guilt is to be drawn should be fully established. 2.      The facts so established should be consistent with the hypothesis of guilt. 3.      The circumstances should be of a conclusive nature and tendency. 4.      They should exlcude every possible hypothesis except the one to be proved. 5.      There must be a chain of evidence so complete as not to leave any reasonable ground for the conclusion consistent with the innocence of the accused and must show that...
