The government has been ordered to produce CCTV footage from the last three days by a division bench of Justices S S Sundar and S Srimathy.
The decision came across while the court was hearing the petition filed by the state government seeking modification of the order passed by the court in 2020.
In 2020, the court while taking into consideration several lapses and irregularities while performing postmortems, has passed directions including appointing scientific officers at the medical college hospitals in all the districts.
