Digital Evidence Consulting
Collect, preserve and present electronic evidence the right way
In most modern disputes, the decisive material is electronic — messages, emails, records, logs, photos and metadata. Digital evidence consulting helps you handle that material properly: from the moment it is identified, through preservation, to its presentation before a court or tribunal.
What is this service?
A clear, practical explanation of what the work involves.
Digital evidence consulting is the practice of advising on how electronic records should be identified, collected, preserved, analysed and presented so that they retain their evidentiary value. This includes documenting authenticity, integrity and the chain of custody, and preparing electronic evidence certificates where required under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023.
The consulting is aimed at anyone whose case depends on electronic material — individuals in civil or criminal matters, advocates preparing evidence, and businesses defending or prosecuting claims involving digital records.

Getting the details right
Electronic evidence is governed by Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 — the provision that replaced Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act. Preservation and documentation decide evidentiary value.
Original records carry more weight than screenshots; preserve the underlying data wherever possible.
Keep metadata intact — copying a file to a new location or editing it can strip metadata that matters.
Document when, how and by whom each record was obtained.
Under Section 63 BSA, electronic records are proved through proper procedure and certificates — start the process while the evidence is still intact.
Practical checklist
Things you can do right now — most cost nothing and protect your position.
Identify all devices, accounts and platforms holding relevant data
Do not edit, crop or re-share evidence before it is documented
Back up evidence to secure storage without altering original files
Record dates, times and sources for every item of evidence
Note who had access to each device or account
Consult before any device is wiped, sold, reset or surrendered
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions clients ask most about this service.
Digital evidence is any information stored or transmitted in electronic form that can be used in legal proceedings — chat messages, emails, call records, photos, videos, documents, transaction logs, metadata and device data. Its value depends on authenticity, integrity and how it is presented.
