#post-mortem report

Patna High Court acquitted two appellants in a 1993 murder case, ruling that the prosecution's failure to examine the Investigating Officer, doctor, or produce the post-mortem report, coupled with contradictory eyewitness testimony, fatally undermined proof beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment reaffirms that evidentiary gaps in critical investigative and medical documentation cannot sustain a criminal conviction, even in serious offences.
