Justice JB Pardiwala questioned the procedural timing in the investigation of the tragic death of a female trainee doctor in Kolkata. He highlighted the discrepancy between the post-mortem and the registration of the unnatural death. “When you begin the post-mortem, it indicates that this is a case of unnatural death. Yet, according to records, the case, UD 861/24, was registered at 11:20 PM on August 9, and the General Diary (GD) entry and First Information Report (FIR) were recorded at 11:45 PM,” Justice Pardiwala noted. “This is quite surprising, as typically, the post-mortem should follow the registration of an unnatural death.”
SC: haven’t come across such discrepancies in 30 years
SC: time of postmortem precedes registration of UD
SC questions WB Police and asks about the timing of the postmortem conducted Senior Advocate Sibal replied it was around 6:10-7:10 PM.
SC further asks, when you took the dead body for post mortem then was it a case of unnatural death or not and if it was not unnatural death then what was the need for post mortem.
Sibal informs the Supreme Court that the case of the unnatural death was registered at 1:45 pm.
SC remarks this is very surprising as the postmortem precedes registration of the unnatural death.
