Forensic Docket
195 Indian Supreme Court judgments, read case by case and sorted into three working modules for investigators, forensic examiners and law students: how courts have treated a forensic technique, where forensic or identification evidence broke down and cost the prosecution its case, and confirmed convictions organised by method of crime. Every entry links to the official judgment on the Indian Supreme Court Judgments open dataset — nothing here is paraphrased case law standing in for the text itself. Free and open access to all — other countries’ courts are in progress.

How this was built and what it isn’tEvery entry starts from the official Indian Supreme Court headnote and, for the disputed or forensically detailed cases, the full judgment text, sourced from the Indian Supreme Court Judgments dataset on the AWS Open Data Registry (CC‑BY‑4.0, maintained by Dattam Labs). The summary and the “lesson” for each case are Legal Desire’s own editorial reading, written to help an investigator or student see quickly why the case matters — they are not a substitute for the judgment, which is one click away on every card. Case Method Library entries show how a forensic technique fared under appellate scrutiny; Failure Registry entries are cases where identification or forensic evidence collapsed on appeal; MO Archive entries are convictions upheld through to a final appeal, grouped by the method of the crime. Free and open access to all. This is v1 of an Indian dataset we’re actively expanding, with other countries’ supreme/apex courts in progress — if you’re an investigator, examiner or academic with a case that belongs here, or you spot an error, write to anuj@legaldesire.com.
