Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 22-OCT-24

It is well settled that the report of an expert cannot be used as evidence without taking it on record and exhibiting it to provide an opportunity for cross-examination. The Cr.P.C. allows certain expert reports to be admitted in evidence without calling the expert as a witness. This is to save time and speed up trials. However, the court may still summon and examine the expert if necessary. The admissibility of test reports has been questioned. However, the Qanun-e Shahadat Order (QSO) and Cr.P.C. should be interpreted progressively to give more space to modern forensic science.
