Non Explanation of Injuries in Criminal Cases: A Legal Issue
Many cases have been decided by Hon'ble Supreme Court on 31 July 2003.
It has been commented at page nos. 9 and 10 of Sucha Singh v State of Punjab [2003] GCtR 2708 (SC) thus : -
"Non-explanation of injuries by the prosecution will not affect the prosecution case where injuries sustained by the accused are minor and superficial or where the evidence is so clear and cogent, so independent and disinterested, so probable, consistent and creditworthy, that it outweighs the effect of the omission on the part of the prosecution to explain the injuries."
