Committed to ‘Justice for All, Swift Justice,’ the administration is plugging gaps in the forensic chain, prioritizing quick resolutions under updated criminal statutes.

Launching a targeted operation, Fadnavis mandated regular reviews to accelerate case disposals at Forensic Science Laboratories. Beginning 2025 with 181,000 pending matters and absorbing 294,000 fresh ones, the directorate achieved a monumental disposal of 396,879 cases by December’s close, trimming the backlog to 79,542.

Beyond routine targets, employees logged 12-hour days and holiday shifts, exceeding projected outputs by over 100,000 cases. The Conventional Forensic unit led with 396,275 clearances, pledging same-day analysis for incoming cases from February 2026 onward. Momentum extends to specialized units handling cybercrimes, digital forensics, and multimedia evidence.

Victims stand to gain immensely as prolonged waits fade into history. Emphasizing empowerment, Fadnavis is equipping sub-divisional police stations with mobile forensic units. This comprehensive reform not only streamlines processes but also enhances accuracy, heralding an era of responsive, victim-centric justice in the state.

The labs will operate in conjunction with the existing Forensic Science Lab (FSL) under the CID. A team from the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Gujarat is expected to arrive soon to assist in setting up the labs and provide expert consultation. The NFSU is a premier institution specializing in forensic science research and related courses. The establishment of these labs aims to facilitate scientific investigation of cybercrimes, aid in evidence collection, and assist in prosecuting offenders. The new labs will be crucial for analyzing digital evidence, especially with the implementation of the new Indian Justice Code (BNS).
