As India moves towards a new framework of evidence law under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023, the role of technology in the legal process has become more crucial. While the legislation lays the foundation, the dynamic and complex nature of technology requires in-depth interpretation, practical tools, and structured protocols to implement the law in both letter and spirit fully.

This edited book aims to provide practical insights, real case scenarios, and suggestive Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) Guidelines that can support law enforcement officers, forensic experts, and the judiciary in effectively applying the new law to the digital realities of crime and evidence. This book will also serve as a guide for students, researchers, scholars, and academicians who aspire to work at the intersection of technology and law, offering them a practical and policy-oriented understanding of how digital tools are reshaping legal procedures.

Everyone engaged in the fields of technology and law or those who wish to contribute to this area are invited to submit their chapters. Whether an academic, practitioner, technologist, policymaker, student, or researcher, each contributor's ideas can help shape how justice is delivered in the digital age.
