35. MLC records only one incise wound on right peraumbilic region about 2 c.m. long on the person of Gorakh.
36. MLC records that the injury has been caused by a sharp edged weapon. On the MLC injury has been recorded as being dangerous.
37. Medical history sheet of Gorakh containing notes of doctors was not was produced during trial to show whether he underwent any surgery or not. We, therefore, have no evidence to ascertain the extent of penetration by the sharp edged weapon which caused the injury. How deep was the injury is not known. However, PW-7, Dr. Sunil Kumar stated that Dr. Satish Tyagi had done exploratory laprotomy on Gorakh and noted intra abdomenal injuries. He identified signature of Dr. Satish Tyagi at point X on the M.L.C., Ex. PW-6/B. I have seen point X on the M.L.C. It bears some signatures under which `Dr. Rajiv Gupta' is written. The witness has obviously deposed callously and the learned Trial Judge too has been negligent. The M.L.C does not record about exploratory laprotomy or nature of intra abdomenal injuries. PW-7 was not the doctor who performed exploratory laprotomy. Thus, one is left in complete darkness qua the depth of the wound.
