Re-examination of the dead body conducted by the Special Medical Board after about 10 months of the burial

In support of my above-mentioned view, I am further enlightened from the observations of the Hon’ble Apex Court of the country mentioned in the case of Faryad Ali v. The State (2008 SCMR 1086) wherein it was observed as under:- 

“Coming to the contention of the learned Deputy Prosecutor General that the re-examination of the dead body conducted by the Special Medical Board after about 10 months of the burial, suffice it to answer that the medical jurisprudence has not provided any time limit for exhumation/disinterment of the dead body in India and England while in France the period is limited to 10 years and 30 years in Germany. Reference is made to Modi’s Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology (Chapter IV Page 90).”
