A revolution in Maharashtra’s courts is underway, propelled by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s resolve to conquer forensic delays and uphold ‘Justice for All, Swift Justice.’ By addressing core flaws in forensic workflows under fresh criminal frameworks, the state is paving the way for real-time resolutions.
At 2025’s outset, labs held 181,000 unresolved cases amid 294,000 additions. Fadnavis ignited a vigorous clearance campaign, monitored closely, yielding 396,879 disposals by December 2025 end—dropping backlogs to 79,542.
Teams embraced marathon schedules—8 AM to 8 PM daily, holidays inclusive—vaulting past 200,000-215,000 benchmarks with 102,413 bonus clearances. The Conventional Forensic arm excelled, settling 396,275 cases; future inflows will see immediate action post-February 2026. Parallel drives thrive in cyber forensics, digital crimes, and AV analysis.
No more endless waits for the aggrieved; a revitalized system emerges. Strengthening this, mobile forensic vans head to sub-divisions everywhere. Fadnavis’s masterstroke fosters a robust, expeditious justice machinery, inspiring systemic change nationwide.
