Incorrect forensic reports can be challenged under Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999 and the Indian Evidence Act before the Bombay High Court. The Bombay High Court has held that forensic reports must be scientifically sound and the opposing party has the right to cross-examine the expert.

In Kolhapur, you can request a re-examination by a different forensic laboratory. The Bombay High Court has excluded forensic evidence when the lab failed to follow standard protocols.
