Proper Investigation and Medical Examination Protocols
The courts emphasize that Investigating Officers and medical professionals must strictly follow established protocols during investigations and examinations, including obtaining opinions from relevant authorities like the Public Prosecutor and adhering to medico-legal guidelines. Non-compliance can lead to departmental action and impact the validity of evidence.
