Before parting with this judgment we have noticed in numerous cases that Medico-legal Officers have assumed the status of the prosecution prosecutors by describing the sections of penal law under which the injuries fall. This is neither their domain nor they have lawful authority to direct or convey to the Investigating Agency the nature of offence, but they should describe the nature of injuries under the new dispensation of law and not the provision of law; under which it falls. Copy of this judgment be sent to all the Registrars of the High Courts as well as the Federal Secretary Health, Government of Pakistan and the Prosecutor Generals of all the Provinces and also Islamabad for future guidance and compliance by the Medico- legal Officers.
