Under section 176 Cr.P.C., can only be activated to ascertain the cause of death.

The learned law officer argued that procedure provided under section 176 Cr.P.C., can only be activated to ascertain the cause of death. According to the learned law officer the cause of death had already been specified in the post mortem report already conducted, therefore, disinterment of dead body was not required. However, on legal ground he urged that revisional order cannot be challenged in writ jurisdiction, in the light of case “BADARUDDIN Versus Mehr AHMAD RAZA, ADDITIONAL SESSIONS JUDGE, JHANG and 6 others” (PLD 1993 Supreme Court 399).
