Abstract

Injury & intoxication are interrelated medicolegal cases, as the intention of the crime, needs to be investigated, to save the life of victim, its eye witness & to collect evidence from the scene of crime, and last but not the least, is to punish the culprit, if it is caused deliberately, with criminal intent, and not just an accident. The most common defence of the accused, is that, it occurred accidently, and not intentionally. But, it’s the responsibility of the judicial court, to administer justice, by examining all the witnesses involved, to decide whether the victim suffered accidently or it is a deliberate act of hurt.
