Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the evidentiary value of postmortem reports, clarifying that while such reports are not substantive evidence, the testimony of the conducting doctor is significant in establishing the nature of injuries and the use of weapons. The Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC and Section 302/149 IPC for the accused involved in the murder of Manphool, affirming the trial court's findings and emphasizing the necessity of corroborative evidence from other witnesses. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the life sentences imposed on the convicted parties.
