https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299576 Section 294 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is applied to post-mortem notes and similar documents where their genuineness is not disputed, because the provision dispenses with formal proof on admission or denial of authenticity. A post-mortem report is not excluded from the section merely because it is a medical record or because it may serve a corroborative rather than primary purpose. Once authenticity is waived, the court may read the document in evidence without examining the doctor or proving the signature, while distinguishing admissibility from probative weight. The principle stated is that undisputed documents may be used at trial without formal proof. en-us Mon, 09 Feb 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 13:09:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299576 Section 294 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is applied to post-mortem notes and similar documents where their genuineness is not disputed, because the provision dispenses with formal proof on admission or denial of authenticity.
