Abstract

The investigating authorities often make heinous offences like u/s Section 307 IPC, without taking into consideration the medical evidence, by taking advantage of the legal loop-holes, causing undue harassment to the alleged accused while the medical evidence plays a pivotal role in establishing such cases in a court of law. The authenticity of medical opinion is discussed in this case wherein the offence u/s 307 IPC against the alleged accused was ordered to be cancelled by the court keeping in view the simple nature of injuries from medical evidence.
