This digital platform was developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC). It enables effective reporting of medico-legal cases (MLCs) and post-mortem reports (PMRs) across health institutions.
The goal of the system is to enhance transparency, efficiency and accountability in the
medico-legal documentation
process, she said.
Minister Ashish Sood, chief secretary Dharmendra, and senior officers of Delhi police, home department, and NIC were present at the launch.
Gupta said, "With the launch of MedLEaPR, transparency and speed in judicial processes in Delhi will increase. Electronic submission of medico-legal and post-mortem reports will not only reduce paperwork but will also ensure accountability through a centralized database and audit trail."
"Our govt is committed to providing fast, transparent, and trustworthy services to the public through the use of technology.
Today's launch is a strong example of our commitment to Digital India and e-governance," she said.
Highlighting the key features of the platform, the chief minister explained that MedLEaPR facilitates electronic submission of medico-legal and post-mortem reports, which eliminates the need for handwritten documentation. All reports will be stored in a secure, centralised database, accessible only to authorised personnel.

The system incorporates user access control, ensuring that only authorised users can submit or access reports, thereby maintaining confidentiality. Additionally, MedLEaPR maintains a comprehensive audit trail, ensuring that all activities are recorded and accountability is upheld.
She added that the initiative will significantly reduce the time required to prepare and submit the reports. Compared to manual documentation, it will offer greater accuracy.
Improved coordination between healthcare institutions and law enforcement agencies will enhance operational efficiency. Moreover, the clear audit trail provided for all reports will strengthen accountability. The platform is now fully integrated with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), ensuring seamless data flow and coordination between institutions.
Gupta said that MedLEaPR reflected govt's digital commitment to strengthening medico-legal systems.
