    AbstractDoctors are duty bound to assist the delivery of justice by providing expert opinion/evidence in a court of law. However, the time spent in doing so comes at the cost of patient care. The healthcare sector and the judiciary are seized of the matter, and the use of technology as an avenue to ease the process is desirable. Tele-evidence or testimony through video conference can be that breakthrough. The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, has institutionalized the mechanism of tele-evidence with the concurrence of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. This was made possible after many permutations and combinations were tried, because the existing information technology infrastructure of the stakeholders was not compatible. The desired solution was achieved, and other institutions working to establish similar facilities can learn from the experience of PGIMER to achieve faster results.
