Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the report of which of the following experts is not admissible per se?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The Director of the Finger Print Bureau, Chief Controller of Explosives and Serologist to the Government are specified experts under section 329(4) BNSS (formerly section 293(4) CrPC). Their reports may be used as evidence under section 329 without first examining them, although the court may summon them; further experts may be notified by the State Government or the Central Government. An ordinary post-mortem board report does not acquire that status merely because doctors prepared it. It may be read without formal proof under section 330 BNSS (formerly section 294 CrPC) only where its genuineness is not disputed; that section requires documents to be admitted or denied within thirty days (relaxable with reasons) and says an expert need not be called unless a party disputes the report.
