Independent forensic review, from the scene of crime to the witness box.
Senior forensic scientists with decades of casework at India’s leading institutions. Every report cites the statutes, standards and literature it relies on.
“Forensics is not a crystal ball; it is a lens. If the lens is smudged by bias, poorly calibrated, or improperly handled, the picture it gives will be distorted.”
What we offer.
FSL Report Audit
A senior forensic scientist audits the FSL report from the moment the evidence was collected to the conclusion it reached, under our Seven-Point Audit Protocol. We also review medico-legal certificates (MLC) and post-mortem (PME) reports. You receive:
- A written view of where the report holds up and where it does not
- Every finding tied to the page of the report it comes from and the standard that applies
- A clear answer on whether the forensic evidence is worth challenging
- Timeline
- Up to 15 working days
- Cost
- Standard fee, free for legal aid
Expert Opinion Report
A formal document signed by a senior scientist on our panel: an independent scientific opinion on contested evidence, not a summary of the prosecution’s report. Expert opinion is relevant under Section 39 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023; its weight is for the Court.
- Timeline
- Up to 15 working days
- Cost
- Standard fee, free for legal aid
Cross-Examination Brief
A case-specific brief for defence counsel: what the forensic evidence actually proves, where it goes further than the data allows, and how to put that to the prosecution’s expert. It is written for:
- Cross-examining the government scientist
- Arguing the limits of the forensic evidence before the Court
- Bail hearings, trials and appeals
- Timeline
- Up to 15 working days
- Cost
- Standard fee, free for legal aid
Judicial Summary
A plain-language brief that tells the Court what the forensic evidence establishes and where its limits lie. Used for bail hearings, Sessions trials and appeals against conviction, alongside an Expert Opinion Report or on its own.
- Timeline
- Up to 15 working days
- Cost

- Facing cross-examination in court
- Post-hearing technical affidavits or clarifications as directed by the Court
- Timeline
- As listed by the Court
- Cost
