ABSTRACT

Sting Operation is a covert operation designed to stop criminals from using deception to perform a crime. A challenging confidence game that was carefully prepared and carried out. It wouldn't be incorrect to claim that a healthy democracy in the world depends on an independent as well as truly free media. One such technique utilized by the media to ensure openness as well as accountability and provide individuals with a perspective on social, political, as well as economic concerns affecting the nation at large is sting operations. An information-gathering technique called a "sting operation" seeks for information that are either difficult to find through routine requests as well as inquiries or that are actively being omitted, hidden, or misrepresented. Although sting operations were intended to strengthen society, recent examples of profit and sensationalism have led some to doubt their purpose. The question of whether such operations are legally admissible as evidence must therefore be addressed in order to avoid a mockery of the justice system. This research paper will discuss about moral propriety and judicial interpretation of the subject of the admission of evidence collected unlawfully.
