I need the vendor details and approximate cost of the software in INR.
I am assuming that your question is directed at dead system forensic analysis and will answer based on this assumption.
I have used:
*EnCase (~197699.95 INR)https://www.encase.com/products/Pages/encase-forensic/overview.aspx
*FTK (do not know current price, but when I bought it was about the same as Encase) http://www.accessdata.com/products/digital-forensics/ftk
*X-ways forensics(~94313.11)http://www.x-ways.net/order.html
These are costly to maintain and if you can sit down for a while and read the code you can in principle testify on the validity of open source tools such as:
* dd, md5sum, sha512sum, Autopsy and the Sleuthkit which are already available to install on most Linux distributions. Another alternative is that you can download Backtrack or its more recent incarnation of Kali (which I have not personally used but is the rewrite of Backtrack) which already comes with the software to use on external media.
An additional benefit from Linux distribution in external media is that the applications will not run using your computer hard drive and that is a plus in case it is requested as evidence.
Note: Most of the investigations I have carried out I do first on open source tools and validate with commercial ones.
hope this helps
