Rajiv Thapar & Ors vs Madan Lal Kapoor

The Supreme Court addressed the inquest proceedings under Section 176 Cr.P.C. concerning the death of Dr. Monica Thapar, determining that the cause of death was cardiac decomposition rather than poisoning, as alleged by her father, Madan Lal Kapoor. The Court emphasized the importance of medical evidence in establishing the cause of death and upheld the findings of the Medical Board, which concluded that the death was due to a pre-existing medical condition. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision regarding the inquest findings.
