Piara Singh vs State Of Punjab on 8 January, 1969

38. The decisions relied upon by the learned counsel of the Supreme Court in Piara Singh's case (supra) in no way help the appellants. In the said case, there was a difference in the opinion of the two doctors regarding the weapon by which an injury was caused on the person of the deceased. One doctor had deposed that the injury in question was caused by a fire- arm which supported the evidence of the eye-witnesses while another doctor opined that the injury in question was not caused by a firearm. The learned Trial Judge disbelieved the prosecution case mainly on the ground that the ocular evidence was inconsistent with the medical evidence. Holding that it was not a case of ocular evidence being totally inconsistent with the medical evidence, but was a case where there was some doubt in the opinion of the experts about the weapon of offence, it was held that and that where there is a conflict between the opinion of the two experts, the court should normally accept the evidence of the expert whose evidence is corroborated by direct evidence, the Supreme Court convicted the accused persons.
