MP HC Questions Doctors Over Lack of Definite Opinions in Autopsy Reports
The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently expressed concern over the fact that in cases of death by asphyxia, burn cases, and accidents, the doctors avoid giving an opinion in the autopsy reports.
Noting that the purpose of an expert opinion from a doctor is to help throw light on the case by giving definite opinion, the HC bench comprising Justices Vivek Agarwal and A K Singh issued directions to the Director General of Police, Bhopal and the Principal Secretary of Health, Bhopal to take necessary steps so that medical evidence in such type of cases are quickly and scientifically collected to help the expert postmortem doctor give a clear cut opinion.
